When you start a new article and click on the ‘more’ link just above the publish button, is the time/date shown there correct? If not, which timezone have you set in your preferences and is that the server timezone or your own timezone?
When I start a new article the time is set correctly. Though when I either preview the article or view the html, when I return to normal text, the timestamp has changed. I’ve tested this across several sites, at two different hosts as well as my local installation, and it seems that the number of hours the timestamp changes after previewing is equel to the amount of hours the timezone as set in the preferences is different from the server time.
So.. my site running on UK time but at a California based host gains 8 hours each time I preview an article. Preview once and it’s 2 in the afternoon instead of 6 in the morning; preview twice and it’s 10 at night, preview three times and it’s 6 o’clock again… only on the next day.
Likewise at another site that’s on a German server but also set to UK time in the preferences, the timestamp goes back an hour with each preview.
I’ve observed this behaviour at all my Textpattern sites, as said across different hosts, including my local machine. None of them are entirely clean installations but there isn’t a single plugin or hack that occurs across all these installations. From the discussion above and where it’s posted I had assumed this was a know issue. I’ll test this on a clean install tomorrow as I don’t have one handy at the moment, but I just tried at the demo on OpensourceCMS and the same thing happened there.
Edit: I recorded the problem in a snappy little video (1.35 MB). This is what happens at OpensourceCMS, which should be a completely new install — every two hours, I believe. But my sites all show the same bug.

This may be fixed in SVN revision 2078, but I can’t test this myself (server runs on UTC time)
