I got this header for Natter at 1:03 a.m. -- that's the *new* 1:03, after the time change. Please note the number of new messages.

Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

Then when I clicked in the Natter thread, the final post said 1074 of 1072:

Is it just b/c of the time change?

Oohhh! I didn't connect that with Daylight Savings! It's gotta be connected with the time change! ita where are you?!

It's kind of cool-looking.

And now I just posted in Bitches, but the posts are all out of order. Like, my new post is wedged in the middle of older posts.

I think you'll find that the posts are roughly in chronological order except that the board innards don't take into account the time change. So a post at the "new" 1:15 am (which would have been 2:15 am if not for the time change) gets moved back an hour and is positioned near the messaged posted at the first "old" 1:15 am. It's not exactly that, but it's close. No, I can't explain why either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Interesting. Let me look at the code and see what they're ordered by.

Aha. I found the offending code. Of course, we're out of the window where fixing it would make any difference, but I'll make sure we're good for spring forward. As for untangling the current mess ... not quite possible to automate.
Sorry.
