#1067 ebay time incorrectly shown 8hrs out
The ebay time shown next to my username at the top right of the main jbidwatcher window doesn't match my system or local time (or ebay.co.uk - local to my system time). Right now the time is 15.27 but jbidwatcher is showing 07.27. All snipes & time to go stats are working correctly but anything time (hh.mm) related is running off from my local time (search manager etc). My install at home is fine ... I've tried and tried but can't find any parameter that might be causing this problem in .jbidwatcher etc (windows xp install both at home & work).

Some more digging around - the time shown in the main window is PDT instead of my expected BST. Closing and restarting jbidwatcher I can see that the correct BST time is very briefly shown next to my username as jbidwatcher signs in to the ebay servers, its then very quickly overwritten with the PDT value. The correct BST is used in the status bar at the bottom of the jbidwatcher screen and in the "time left" details for completed actions. This miss-match between local and jbidwatcher times means that any monitored auctions that have finished in real time (BST) but would be in the future when PDT is applied are loaded and displayed in the originally sorted tab rather than the completed tab when jbidwatcher loads and sorts its auction list.
