Regarding time zones...
« on: June 12, 2006, 04:19:15 pm »
When registering your account and such, you put in what Time zone you live in.  Is there a way to have the site show all times in your time zone?

IE GM makes a quest starting at 7pm his time.  Plugs it in as such.  On my end I read it as 5pm my time.

I like the idea of the calander having an automatic timezone converter.  When you enter the start time of an event there is also a field for timezone, which default to your local timezone.  Then the calander can accurately show the TIME and DATE of the event.

This will have the benefit of showing
1) The order that events occur in
2) Highlighting event clashes.

As there is already a clock with, PDT, EDT, GMT, BST and AEST on the website it may not be much more effort to do this.

Currently I use the convention of entering the GMT time into the time field in the forum.  But as other users are in different timezones they commonly enter their own local time into this field.  If the system automatically converted the times it would be a "Lucinda" send.
