Termyn8or -> RE: Message Time (12/9/2008 9:35:51 AM)

I have seen all times in PST, regardless. Time of posts as well. I just do a bit of mental math, it is three hours off for me.
I am on another (professional and private) forum that does report times according to time zones of the viewer, but not all software has all the same features. Also realize this being a worldwide forum, even if the time posted was correct in your time zone, someone from Europe could trip you up. For example I am at GMT-5, but for someone in England, the time of posting is reported at GMT-8. (like they posted eight hours beforehand)
I think the people who wrote the software that runs this forum just decided not to deal with it, probably for that reason. In other words, if it reported the correct time to you, that might not be the correct time for the sender of the message or post. If I were the author of the software, I might also decide just not to deal with it, exactly for that reason. So even a solution might not be a solution.
BitaT is moving to Portugal as we speak I think, her next post is likely to come in the middle of the night seemingly, but where she is the sun just rose, she is having her morning coffee or whatever and the birds are chirping, whatever. Not crickets.
You get used to it. I don't even set my clocks for DST anymore, I just know they are off an hour.
