Hey Fquist, which time zone does the board use? I would suggest using GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, London, England), thats the world standard. Maybe you could add a GMT offset info to the profiles (see? using the j2o profiles would be helpful! :-)

Fquist_old Mar 23, 2001 02:30 PM

I will look into it. I don't know for myself actually. [img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]



But in any case, the dates this forum uses are very hard to convert. But I'll look into it anyways.

Aiko Mar 23, 2001 02:35 PM

It uses GMT-6, thats "U.S. central time" or however they call it. I suggest using GMT :-)

Fquist_old Mar 23, 2001 02:36 PM

Too bad most of the members live in america. [img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]



I'll talk it over, okay?

Aiko Mar 23, 2001 02:38 PM

Hah! Its a legend that most jazzers are from the US...are you from the US, Fquist? And wheres Arjan from? :-)

JelZe GoldRabbit Mar 23, 2001 02:45 PM

Both are from Holland, silly [img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] And i hate don't mind seeing the times in EST (GMT-6) [img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Bobby aka Dizzy Mar 23, 2001 02:50 PM

Its in -6? Bah, it should be on -5. ;P

Tweety Mar 23, 2001 03:07 PM

I don't mind to see PST(extracting 10 hours from my time is easier than others ;P) or GMT.. Having personal time zones for people would be nice too, if possible.. (example: nagcentral BB)



And it's a fact that the European Jazzer population is more than the American one, so let the superior time zone, GMT rule the JCF! Err..

MadRabb Mar 23, 2001 03:10 PM

I agree with Bobby! -5 all the way!

stripe Mar 23, 2001 03:28 PM

The USA is the only country that really matters. Set it to EST. ;D

JelZe GoldRabbit Mar 23, 2001 04:05 PM

Man, I forgot this is GMT+1...6 hours earlier in America, that makes -6 + 1 = -5, GMT -5! Boy, do i feel dumb...

iCeD Mar 23, 2001 04:24 PM

*cough* PST is the coolest timezone. GMT -8 forever! *cough*



Quist, does phpBB use time() or a date() funtion to determine times? if it's time(), timezones shouldn't be too hard to implent.

MadRabb Mar 23, 2001 04:27 PM

iCeD...admitt it...-5 is the BEST!

FireClaw Mar 23, 2001 04:55 PM

No, iCeD is right, -8!



Anyway, shouldn't there be something to make it so you can set what time zone you're in?

Xeno_old Mar 23, 2001 11:47 PM

Y not make the time customizable(like the layout of the forum)? Also, tis my first post here, I like the Ultimecia layout.

UrbanMenace Mar 24, 2001 02:01 AM

No, GMT is the standard! [img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]



Of course, there's no bias from the fact that I live there.





But seriously, most Jazzers are European, so using GMT so everyone understands would be easier...

Newspaz Mar 24, 2001 02:20 AM

GMT All the way. Just because you are american it doesn't mean we're going to use your timezone ;)



Or something to choose your own timezone would be great ;)

Aiko Mar 24, 2001 02:21 AM

heh, you guys forget about one thing. all your +-X is the best will be senseless the next days (heres its tomorrow) when the daylight saving times comes >:-)))



btw its not about the usual europeans vs. americans dispute. its just that GMT (also known as UTC) is the world standard time :-)

ships, airports and many more HAVE to use it.



oh and GMT+2 is the best! (from tomorrow on ;-)))

Tweety Mar 24, 2001 04:02 AM

Daylight saving times always confuse me.. Is it like one continent changes its time by one hour and one week or something later the other one does, and it goes on like that till all time zone differences are like before again?

Admael Mar 24, 2001 09:00 AM

I'm US Central... muahaha. But either US Eastern or GMT would make more sense.

Coppertop Mar 24, 2001 02:32 PM

Oh

Emerald Dragon Mar 26, 2001 10:55 PM

CENTRAL TIME RULEZ!! *So what, I live in it [img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img])

Aiko Mar 27, 2001 07:17 AM

I agree, *CENTRAL* European Time (CET) rules...


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 08:14 PM.
