Ah, that's why I kept getting warnings from phpbb debug whenever I
open a thread (viewtopic.php) in the forum:
-------------------------------------
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /viewtopic.php on line 988: date():
It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are
*required* to use the date.timezone setting or the
date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those
methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely
misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Berlin' for
'CEST/2.0/DST' instead

I thought it was a forum setup problem and posted it there:

Now the debug messages are gone.
