Haken - how easy would it be to display the times with a timezone offset? I appear to be 11 hours ahead of the board itself. If I could set that in my preferences so that when I load the messages I can see the times in my timezone - it makes it easier to figure out when something was posted.

I'm guessing that the pages are created dynamically? Or not? If it's dynamic then I suspect it'll be easier to add the offset.

If it's too hard don't bother.

Yeah, it's possible for me to create something like that. It's just tedious work because I'll have to add the offset to all the locations where the time stamps appears on this site.

11 hours offset, you're almost half way around the world from me. I remember the first time I went to London, took me 24 hours to get there. I racked up those mileage points big time.

Like I say - if it's too much work - don't bother.

But I'll keep it on my list of things to do. I'll probably add it whenever I have to work on something else in the general area.

Just had a thought on this.

How about you put the server time on the command bar somewhere? Would that be a simple change? It would really help me.

You only require the time offset when you read the messages, right?

Yeah pretty much.

Not quite there yet. Getting close though.

Yeah - I noticed the drop down on the edit profile page so I thought I'd try it out.
