Time stamp.

When making a post, it shows 5 hours ahead of the time actually posted. Is this site originating from the middle east?

Yup, that's what I figured, somewhere in Africa.

Go to the User Control Panel. On the left side, find “Edit Options”. Scroll to the bottom and set your time zone.

No, "ZULU" time is pilot speak for Greenwich Mean Time, or nowadays, UTC. Computers and networks that span multiple time zone should keep their time in UTC and the local users adjust plus or minus to their local time zone. Your local time zone offset is probably not set correctly for this website.

Because aircraft cross time zones, clocks are always set to UTC, or Zulu for aviation purposes.
