1) Have you ensured both the settings in the Preferences have been applied - so there's the date of the server based on where it's located (for example in the USA) then the offset time which is the time you want it to apply based on your user base, because your users are say UK based. Just a thought. Other than that, I'm not sure. Most of my sites are hosted on a server in the US and I applied the offset and it reads OK.
2) Sarcasm is likely to get you absolutely no where on these discussion boards. If no one has replied it's because, of the people who have read it, no one knows the answer.
