Based on your profile, you posted your reply at 9:57 PM (your time). The time I see is 3:57 PM. That's the correct time.
Blah... I hate it when I can't understand something like this... I don't know who's wrong...

Well, the "9:35" is irrelevant... I only included it as an example. The point is that if it's 3:35 here when you post, the time shown to me is 3:35, and
your DST setting doesn't matter.

My DST is enabled. I'm viewing a thread and the first post is posted at 12:43.
This means this is posted right after midday in the timeframe of a day.
When I need to disable my DST setting, and I look again at that post, it suddenly is posted before midday (11:43)...
That part (the problem) I understand. It's the solution I'm having trouble with.

This isn't correct as times in the past can not suddenly change.
Well, they can when a new time zone offset is applied to them.
The DST option effectively increments your time zone setting by 1.
