I've noticed that post entry times are one hour ahead of normal time.

I wouldn't worry -
Same here.

But that means that the clock will be correct at the end of March.
(British Summer Time).

I think it depends where the server is located.
On another forum that I admin for, the server is in Germany and so this often reverts to Central European Time.

You can change it in the user control panel, then board preference's.

The global settings for this forum are set to Greenwich Mean Time / Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), as can be seen in the text at the bottom of each page: "All times are UTC".

^^^ phpBB3 timezone settings are a bit odd. Global settings apply only to guests and users not logged in. Logged in / registered users must set their own timezone settings in the board preferences section of the User Control Panel: ucp.php?i=165. If Daylight Saving Time is enabled, the message at the bottom of each page will read "All times are UTC [ DST]".
