I know this may sound like a silly suggestion, but could it be possible for users to change the time zone shown on their specific user name? I know many other forums have this and it would help out a lot. [:?]

I agree Nick, but subtracting four or five hours to convent to ES(D)T is not too bad.

Personally I think everyone should simply use GMT. No time zones or confusing daylight saving differences to concern anybody with. :)

I agree with Ben. From now on, you'll be getting up at 1pm and going to bed at 4am.


(Oh, hold on - you do already... [:p])

Well with the majority of the users being in the UK I find it kind of handy to have the website tell me what time it over there,that way I know who's on for me to ask questions.

Yep, its like shift work! Same faces, same times ... and then there's the hardcore people who are on doing the graveyard shift! Mentioning no names, but when your posting in the evening at the same time as Dave, Chuck & Ben, you know you should be asleep!!

I go to school during the day and work at night. The client I deal with are in Asia and Australia so it is normal business hours for them. This is the only reason I keep my job as the older people at the firm do not want to stay up. They have families, etc.

Long days, mostly to save for retiremnt and my 'fun fund!'
