Does the "Edit" time clock take into account the value in "Default Time Offset"?

The server that hosts our forum is an hour ahead, so I set the "Default Time Offset" to "-1". It correctly updated the time displayed with the posts. BUT, all of the regular users lost their ability to edit their posts within the 20 minutes they are allowed to do so. When I reset the "Default Time Offset" to "0" users had the "Edit" feature back and working correctly.

The software reads the server time clock. Your host needs to set the server to read a time adjusting clock setup aka NTP Server.

Here is one that I use --> 64.236.96.53

Well if your users are setup to allow only 20 minutes to edit posts and you changed it to -1 does this not mean that they tried to edit the post before it was posted?
This is how I think
Post at 5pm
Changed setting to -1
Now 20 minutes pass.
Time is now 4:20pm
Try to edit post at 5:20 but now is 4:20pm.
Looks like you are editing the post before it was made.
Maybe try again and clear cache or wait longer to see if it is still an issue.

No. It does not go by their computers clock it goes by the server clock.

Then this is a bug. If you're running with the "Default Time Offset" set to "-1" the software should account for it and not think you are editing a post before it was made.
