I know you can all manage, but just in case you are in a rush: NOTE: Ignore this when time is screwed up, like a federal emergency where all clocks are rewound 4 hours, or Daylight Savings times, unless your area doesn't recognize it. Everything on the server is Mountain Time (UTC - 7:00) If it says "Take n hours" for your time zone, then subtract the corresponding number from the time of the post. If it says "Add n hours" for your time zone, then add the corresponding number to the time of the post. UTC - 12:00 = Take 5 hours (International Date Line West) UTC - 11:00 = Take 4 hours (Midway Island, Samoa) UTC - 10:00 = Take 3 hours (Hawaii) UTC - 9:00 = Take 2 hours (Alaska) UTC - 8:00 = Take 1 hour (Pacific Time) UTC - 7:00 = No Change (Mountain Time) UTC - 6:00 = Add an hour (Central Time) UTC - 5:00 = Add 2 hours (Eastern time) UTC - 4:00 = Add 3 hours (Atlantic time) UTC + 0:00 = Add 7 hours (Greenwhich Mean Time Zone) UTC + 1:00 = Add 8 hours (Central Europe) UTC + 2:00 = Add 9 hours (East Central Europe)* UTC + 3:00 = Add 10 hours (West Middle East and East Europe)* UTC + 4:00 = Add 11 hours (Caucuses Standard Time) UTC + 5:00 = Add 12 hours (Ekaterinburg)* UTC + 6:00 = Add 13 hours (Almaty)* UTC + 7:00 = Add 14 hours (Bangkok)* UTC + 8:00 = Add 15 hours (Beijing, Singapore)* UTC + 9:00 = Add 16 hours (Tokyo, Seoul)* *These areas have no given time zone. If there is a correct time zone name, feel free to tell me. |

I'm pretty sure GMT/UTC +1 is called Central Europe.. |

Of course, there is the insanity that is Daylight Savings which throws -some- (but not all) of this off. The server is always UTC -7 as Arizona does not recognize Daylight Savings. |

Well, when Daylight Savings Times happens, don't expect me to update this. |

Geez...kudos for doing this at all, Peter. This kind of thing makes my head hurt! |

Agreed, nicely done Peter. However... *cough*, not to diminish your efforts. But, if this is for the forums, can't you just change your time zone in the settings to have everything fit your time? Or am I missing something here? |

Anyone who is registered on the forums can just set the times, in the User Control Panel, to whatever timezone they are in. Timestamps on posts will then work a little easier. |

As Dru said, sometimes events are planned in certain time zones. One thing about the time stamps is that they sometimes don't figure in Daylight Savings Time. |

For the record and not that anyone cares - I hate Daylight Savings time. |

Post subject: | Re: Times |
Me too, but partly because not all countries that use Daylight Savings start it at the same time either.... Canada changed when theirs starts though because of the US. Stupid border. But I think there's about a two or three week difference from when Canada and Australia do their time changes, for example. I think you can also click on something in the profile to adjust for daylight savings, but that's also a pain. |

Yeah, we set the time, I think, two weeks before/after they do in the north American countries. As for my previous post, Jinx and Dru, I was refering to Dru's example (in the quote) where she said that, a class would be held an hour from posting. |
