Comment (by boonebgorges):

 > Can I ask what advantage there is to always using GMT instead of local
 time ?

 The most important thing is to use one time and then to be consistent
 about it. UTC has the advantage of portability: if you move to a different
 server or whatever, you can change the display values by changing a single
 setting.

 > And is the time ever correct (iow. local) in the screen created by bp-
 activity-admin.php ?

 Yes, this looks like a bug. We should be running everything through a
 function that converts to local time.
