I just noticed the timestamp I see on posts is 3 hours off.

 

I confirmed in my settings:preferences that my timezone is correct (GMT -5 US Eastern Time).  But the time I see on posts looks like GMT -8.

 

Anyone else seeing this?

 

As I'm writing this, the UI says "Your content was last auto-saved at 08:47 AM" which is correct, but after I post it, the time stamp I see is 05:47.

And only 6+ months later...I think we have this resolved! Timestamps in messages should appear as your local timezone, and will use the "friendly" format of "26 min ago" or "2 weeks ago" if appropriate. Hover over the time value to see the exact date/time.

My timestamps from earlier today are definitely wrong by about 3 hours.
