It should always show times in GMT unless you've told the wiki
otherwise. (Note: ~~~~ signature timestamps will show in server local
time, as an exception.)

If it's showing incorrect GMT times, it's possible that your server's
clock is actually literally set wrong -- in this case you should
correct it, or ask your hosting provider to correct it if you do not
control the server yourself.

If times show correctly when logged in, they should also show correctly
when logged out. Are you sure that you haven't set the wiki's default
timezone offset? See:
