Tom,

For an application like yours, I would have expected your servers to be set
to UTC and *never* change to BST... Doing this, you should then using some
CF magic and offset the times for display purposes only.... 

The thing is though, to correct this you either have to set the servers back
to UTC and make the corrections in the DB or wait till we go back to UTC in
the autumn and remember to set the servers to never use DST after they are
back on UTC. I'd go for the former as remembering to do that six months from
now is not going to happen!!!

Also, how are you handling the display of datetimes for your global users at
the mo? I assume you're showing them server local times? If you use UTC and
do the offsets based on the users timezone, you will always be right
according to their timezones and life will be peachy!

You know where I am if you need any more assistance :)
