This is most likely a daylight savings problem.
For those of us who live in a state where Daylight Savings Time is not observed (ie. QLD, NT, WA) - and anyone who lives in the northern hemisphere where daylight savings time is in force during a different time period - you will need to make an adjustment to your vBulletin settings to get the time right on the forum.
This applies during the time that daylight savings is in force in Sydney - usually from the last weekend in October to the last weekend in March (I think).
The servers that run the forum automatically adjust themselves for DST in the eastern states of Australia - so the time is going to be wrong for anyone not observing DST at the same time as us.
You are going to need to go into the user control panel ("user cp" at the top of the page), go to the "edit options" page, then scroll down to the "date and time options".
You should set the "time offset" back 1 hour from your normal time zone !
For example, if you are in WA (GMT +8), you should edit your time offset and set it to GMT +7 (which corresponds to Bangkok, Hanoi and Jakarta). This will now give you the correct time on the forum.
QLD users who are normally on GMT+10 should set theirs to GMT+9 (Tokyo, Seoul, etc).
NT users have a problem - since you are normally GMT+9.5, there is no GMT+8.5 option in the list. I suggest you leave it as is, and adjust the time in your heads by an hour - it should be easier than adjusting it by a half hour in your heads !
