O.P. DST messes up "Last seen online"
The clocks went forward here on Sunday morning (2am) and this has caused the times in the Contact Information window to all go ahead too.

Someone I last spoke to at 11:40pm on 25/03/10 is now showing as 00:40am on 26/04/10 (an hour ahead).

The time stamps in chat-logs remain unchanged

Of course the timestamps in chat-logs won't be rewritten because of DST, but technically there is nothing wrong with shifting the time-stamp in the contact information window.

There is something wrong with it.....because I didn't last chat to that contact at 00:40, I last chatted to them at 11:40, so the information is correct.  The change in time in the present doesn't affect the time in the past....so it's correct in saying that it's a bug.

And yeah, I know the time stamps in chat-logs won't have been re-written, but I was just saying it for completeness....and it also further highights that it's a bug ;)

Either way, it's not going to get fixed. I can't remember the last time a bug got fixed.

On a related note, DST and my server didn't go well.

4.83.380 (17/03/2010) is the last time bugs were fixed :p (although most of the recent changes since October last year seem to be smaller fixes related to the promotional/revenue generating stuff in MsgPlus)
