Site Stuff #1
Possible New Community Trend/Habit
Archive: 3 posts
| Hey everybody, I just thought of an idea to help with better communication between site members due to different time zones. How about everyone, either as a signature or at the start of each message dealing with updates or online times, post their time zone or simply the time their computer says it is when they post it along with their country i.e. US or EU (last is a continent, I know lol.) (The latter will allow users to see that if my computer says it's almost 10 PM that I am in the central time zone or at least in comparison with the time it says I posted this that I am X hours apart from them.) Respond to this thread with your ideas or your feedback on my idea and hopefully this will catch on. - And yes I realize after posting this that there is a time zone slot under your Join Date under your avatar, but I've noticed some people don't post this or it doesn't correspond with what they may have said in another post. I also have no idea why mine says GMT -6. (Maybe it's like one time zone -6 hours from it? i dunno) To start it off, I'm US Central Time or 10:01 PM at the moment. | 2010-10-26 03:58:00 Author: WoodburyRaider  Posts: 1651 |
This is already implemented m8!  You can put your timezone right about.... <-- there m8. I do realize you said you know m8, but remember that if people don't feel like puttingit, or don't want for some reason, you can't just force them m8. They do have a right to their privacy too, that's why its an optional feature, not an obligatory one.  (If you "must" know, you can always ask in person too, m8.  ) | 2010-10-26 04:45:00 Author: Silverleon  Posts: 6707 |
| GMT-6 means that you're 6 hours West of the Greenwich Meridian, which would put you somewhere in the central US. Using GMT +/- X is probably the best universal way of expressing a timezone as it is possible to compare timezones more easily, and therefore establish the time difference. If you're in GMT-6 you'll know that you're 8 hours behind someone in GMT+2. | 2010-10-26 08:53:00 Author: SalieriAAX  Posts: 421 |
