Usually what the title says. I know there are different times for daylight saving time as well (Winter, Summer). Anyone know when they change, probably eastern time.​
 
You mean the forum background? As for the exact times (apart from that it happens at x o'clock) I've not paid much attention, but they are based on the timezone set in your account settings. So are the seasonal themes which is why sometimes an Aussie will post "ohhh, it's so pretty" hours before most others will see it change.

Not what I'm looking for but loved the story.
 
In the Spring/Summer:

- Dawn at 5:00 AM
- Sunrise at 6:00 AM
- Early Morning at 7:00 AM
- Day fron 8:00 AM to 5:59 PM
- Dusk at 6:00 PM
- Sunset at 7:00 PM
- Twilight at 8:00 PM
- Night at 9:00 PM to 4:59 AM

The fall sky backgrounds are one hour earlier on every time zone (such as Night beginning at 8:00 PM). The winter ones are two hours earlier (such as Sunset at 5:00 PM).

And the sky backgrounds when you're browsing as a guest always follow EST (GMT-5). During standard time, it's synchronized with the East Coast. During Daylight Time, it's synchronized with the Central Time regions (such as Texas). Regardless of DST time changes and time zones, it's always synchronized with your time zone if you're logged in.

For example, in two different time zones will night always be 9pm? I know what timezone are but I'm just looking for just the hours when it changes. Thanks btw!

I already said it. The background changes at 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 6 PM, 7 PM, 8 PM, and 9 PM in the spring and summer. In the fall, it would be 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 5 PM, 6 PM, 7 PM, and 8 PM. For the winter, it would be 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 4 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, and 7 PM. Is that what you needed, or is there something else you ask for? I highlighted the text in different colors to make it easier to understand what hours the time changes each season.
