This bug is observed on several devices, too.

Well it's not like I am imagining them.
Actually, I have a lot more of those to report if anyone is interested in fixing them eventually. Most of them are just minor quirks (say, a transparent background when you choose fonts or font size - the strings overlap with what is written in the editor making them unintelligible), so I only write about the most obnoxious ones or the ones that affect the threads I frequent. It is only recently that I have learned that bitching on this subforum actually does something (thanks!).
If that is of interest, I can start a separate thread about it where I would list everything that seems off about the forums - to add them to a to-do list or write them off as irrelevant as you see fit.
This one hour discrepancy started a few days ago. Seeing how there was a maintenance recently I just put 2 and 2 together and thought you might want to know about that.
Edit: want to hear something funny?
My local timezone is UTC +3:00. This thread was started at 10:57 AM local time, but shows as if it was 11:57 AM (hence the bug).
If I log out, it shows that the thread was started at 9:57 AM (UTC +2:00).
What is the timezone that shows up for users that aren't logged in? Shouldn't it be the default one (UTC +0:00)?

The time zone for guests is whatever's set in the admin panel, and it's UTC+1 (CET), same as the server's time zone (and my own, not coincidentally). The MySQL upgrade shouldn't have affected this in any way, but if it did, I would expect the time to be off for everyone, not just you. Why aren't you selecting the proper time zone for your location?
1) What is the time zone where you are in Russia? Spell it out.
2) Set this time zone in Preferences. Spell out which time zone you have selected.
3) Make a post and mouse over the time of said post and write out exactly what it says.

Either our PHP's time zone database was outdated for some time (only affects any more recent changes, like wherever Putin felt like making time zone adjustments in the last couple of years) or it somehow got replaced with an older version during the last PHP rebuild. In any event, we're using the latest now, so even Russia should be properly covered.

Strange. Other Russians on the 'Dex - in the same timezone with me, even - claimed that they haven't encountered the bug. 
Just to keep everything in one place.
So, about this thread. Yay or nay?
