Posts show wrong time

I'm in Central Time Zone (American/Chicago).
When I read posts that were just posted, they are showing one hour in my future.
I can correct it by changing from -5 to -6 hours or choosing America/Boise instead of choosing the America/Chicago zone.
When I choose a different zone, the board recommends the -5 hours. So it is detecting my correct time zone, just not displaying it correctly.

Just grab a different timezone so the time shows correctly for you. We cannot change the phpbb code.
Or is the problem that you cannot change it?

That's what I did. I didn't know if there was a setting wrong on the board or if it was just me.
Not that critical, as yesterday was the first time I'd noticed it.

When this happens to me, I just select another city in the same time zone. You say that you are in Chicago, so try Milwaukee or Green Bay.

...I can correct it by changing from -5 to -6 hours or choosing....
Could someone please tell me where, how, what tool/app to change this from?
I doubt it's MX-Date&Time.
I'm on MX-21.3 NOT 23
Thank You.
++EDIT- Thanks
@CharlesV for reply/post #6!
++EDIT2-Thanks
@Eadwine Rose! I didn't catch the board referring to the forum, hence why no tool/app to change this from - OK.
But I noticed mine are off too.

@Eadwine Rose , thanks for post #2 explaining that it can't be solved by a forum software tweak.
Choosing @siamhie post #8 as the solution as it is direct link for those that may be new or not know their way around the board yet.
