Close enough.
What time zone do you have entered into the forum Control Panel (Edit Options). I would think that you have Mountain Standard Time (GMT -7hrs).
It said 12:59 on mine. I am set to MST (gmt 7hrs) and have DST correstions "always' on. Still off an hour....I could move my family to accomodate but now I'm not sure weather to go left or right or east or west..maybe south, warmer.
It says I was on last at noontime yesterday, actually later after work yesterday, yesterday evening and this morning. crazy. I thought computers were smart but my old micky shake to wind watch was more accurate.

Change it to either always off(DST
never for your area) or automatic(changes when the blind sheep spring forward and fall back).
I believe always on
always adds an hour.
Change it and you will gain an hour! Just like falling back!;)
Folks in AZ need always off IIUIC.

Is Arizona the ONLY state that does not utilize daylight savings.
I grew up in farm country and I had chores that were to be underway before the rooster crowed. Daylight savings is a natural for me. I am up long before the sun.

Not sure! There were some local deviants in Farmer's state a while back, but they have toed the line since.
I assume AZ does not have the joy of having more than one 'ST' within it's boundary.

There is no area in Arizona that officially runs on standard time.
When I worked for a living here in this state, my employer allowed us to establish our own work hours. We had to establish what they were but they did not have to comply with the company's standard. I worked 5:00am to 1:00pm except on Friday. I had to be there for the weekly shop meeting because that was when Safety gave their weekly lecture.
It is so good to be retired (except on payday).

Speaking of time zone issues, did you hear that Samoa will not have a Friday?
They are switching their zone to the other side of the international date line. So they will go from Thursday to Saturday.
If I could just figure how to get rid of Monday's!

One issue solved. You would think that checking an "corrected DST" box would mean it accounts for that and changes automatically, huh uh, nope.
I am now on time, however I'll never know when I "last visited" with any real certainty, sadness
