Steps to reproduce: 1. Logged in to MediaWiki. 2. Click on the 'My preferences' link. 3. Click on the 'Date and time'. 4. Change the 'Time zone'. 5. Open a wiki page in the editor mode. 6. Click on the 'Signature' link. 7. Click on the 'Save page' button. Actual results: Changed time zone is not displayed correctly Expected result: Correct time zone should be displayed.
See bug 26770. Same cause. Intended behaviour. The signature is substituted on the page. If it would listen to the *user* preference instead of the *site* settings you could end up with Talk:-pages like Hello world. --John Doe 2010-12-30 12:30 (UTC) : Hello there -Pete December 30, 2010 11:00 (UTC -01:30) :: etc. Time zone is used in the interface such as on SpecialPages ([[Special:RecentChanges]], [[Special:Log]] etc.), (diff)-views, page histories, watchlist, footer etc.
