That's because Zulu is Zulu (GMT) regardless of local corrections for Daylight Savings Time. And the forum has a user-selectable option to automatically update for DST... although I wonder if it actually has all the worldwide DST settings in the software, or if it's only for the USA.
I had to logout to see it - but forum default is GMT-8 (Pacific Standard Time). Right now you and I are on Eastern Daylight Time, GMT-4.

and then there are those of us who function on a 24 hour system and spend our lives translating to and from that system to standard time, daylight savings time and time in any one of about 7 time zones that people write from.
