The time zone has changed in options. Was this due to some forum updates or hacking?

Whenever you see some changes that you think - you didn't make - go ahead and change your password first.

If the problem is with Digit forum and if it continous even after you change pass many times, contact the Admins, they may be able to find out if theres anything un-usual going on with your account.

Good Luck.

Just adding a small general advice to din's solution, do check your mail id field in the options before resetting your password. Cause in case your account was really hacked, the person might have altered the email field too and thus resetting your password will only lead to more troubles as it'd reach him/her too. :)
