Time zones and time stamps

Postby mikeybound » Mon May 13, 2013 1:22 pm

The time posts say they were made at aren't matching my clocks. Whatever time zone this board is on, it isn't EST. Should it be showing us this stuff compared to local time?

The board is in pacific since that is where I (the admin) live. You can go to the user control panel and there might be a time zone option there to over ride it.

Shouldn't websites be able to do that automatically?

If a website would do that then it would invade your privecy by finding out where you live by IP adress....
