Just a little suggestion. If for the owner of the event, his even would be happening on lets say a Monday early am, but would be a Sunday for est, CDT, PDT, saying that the original date of the date is a Monday (even though it appears on a Sunday for us on the American continent) would help us know if the quest is on the night of the Sunday to Monday or on the night of the saturday to Sunday. Cause the time stamps doesn't make sense at all, even when you switch the forum time to GMT.

Don't know if you saw this, but it goes into working with the calendar both for making events and interpreting times on the calendar.

well i saw that but it doesnt really help. As an example take the quest of The Mathemagician's Task 2 (Coyote). Is that suppose to be 00:00 Sunday or on Monday.

                                                05-13-07 12:00 AM to 02:00 AM * This event was posted for time zone (GMT -7:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada) so it will appear to occur on a different day on your calendar.

when you see things like this it gets confusing.

so let say that a quest is on the 13 00:00 am Edt, that means it is actually on the Sunday and not on the Monday at 00:00 am right?

AM is not used with 24 hour time.  1300 is 1pm.

0000 = 12:00am
0100 = 1:00am
1259 = 12:59 am
1300 = 1:00pm
1800 = 6:00pm
2359 = 11:59pm


Easiest way to convert is if you see a time greater than 12:59, subtract 12 from it.  That will give you the "PM" time.

Longer, more detailed explanation HERE.

I think he means on the 13th at midnight.

[Hellblazer]

yeah sorry i'm using the military way of saying it, 0hundred hours.

[stragen]

0000 = 12:00am
0100 = 1:00am
1259 = 12:59 am
1300 = 1:00pm
1800 = 6:00pm
2359 = 11:59pm

I always hate am and pm as well.  Its so easy to misunderstand the system.  At 12 noon (midday) we have the change over from am to pm.  This always confuses me.  I automatically convert A.M. to Approaching Midday and P.M. to Past Midday in my head to make sure I get it right.  Latin is all Greek to me.

0059 = 12:59 am (the dark and early hours of the morning)
1259 = 12:59 pm (time for my lunch)

As a side note at least one of the automatic time conversion sites (time zone converter) uses the number 2400.  That is the time 1 minute after 2359 on Sunday is displayed as 2400hrs Sunday instead of 0000hrs Monday.   I have seen people caught out by this before.
