"i agree, it would be nice to be able to set your time zone in your profile."I'm not sure why you want to do this. Having multiple time zones show up in comment timestamps could be confusing. On the other hand, why is "EST" the base time zone used? Why not UTC? That's the world standard. Or maybe both UTC and time zone local to the writer. Now THAT would be nice. I'm just thinking about people in places far from the USA. A user in India is not likely to make much sense of a time stamp giving a EST time, but then I wouldn't have a clue about the meaning of an Indian time zone stamp. Hence the need for the UTC data. 3 out of 11 found this valuable. Do you? |

When you sign in all timestamps change from the default to your local time, or whatever you set it to in your preferences. You wouldn't see 'multiple time zones' 9 out of 11 found this valuable.

Agree. It would really help to be able to set your local time zone in your profile. I'm far from the US, EST means zero to me. Store everything in UTC and just convert based on the users time zone.

I think that is a really good idea my website doesn't even have time and date. I think there should be a calander and maybe even a clock that changes! That is a really good idea Anonymous!

You lucked out because it is set to Eastern time by default. We're working to make this changable soon.

Sorry but I think we should keep it at EST No matter what we change it to, someone is not going to be happy. I do understand the confusing part.

The idea is that you can have the timestamps set to always show in your local time. This is something we're currently working on.

"The idea is that you can have the timestamps set to always show in your local time. This is something we're currently working on."is this feature still foreseen ? We -in France- actually need it, EST is confusing; perhaps the simplest thing is to allow the administrator of a wiki to select his/her wiki's timezone 1 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Yes, I believe we are still planning on implementing this feature. I don't have an estimate on when yet, but it should not be too far off.

This seems a very simple feature to add. Also, this comment was in 2006! Does this mean every suggestion we make will take over two years to create. This job just seems like another setting on your profile.
