Mention Time Zone of the board

[Hatfield]

Hello, is it possible can you mention what time zone this site is. I bump my game early by accident and delete it after I realize the mistake.

Thanks

Hi,

you can set your timezone in your profile (it's near the bottom). the forum's default time zone (i think) is based on california time, which is where the PB office is located.

Okay. I think it was tinker by someone because I was confuse when I bump. I was looking at the time and what happen. So I assume someone did me a favor.

So if that is so. I am thankful and have five golden stars.

While I have you hear.

I got a question. Is Proboards located at the same location because I remember at another host (I believe it was Insane Journal or Greatest Journal) they had half the boards down when Florida got hit by bad storms and some other ones was working fine. I am curious.

Thanks

In v5, all times displayed on the page are displayed in your local time zone.

This is done, automatically? If so, great!

Yes, via JavaScript

What if you're a guest?

Is there a cookie that sets the timezone or does it default to UTC or something?

It doesn't matter if you're a guest or logged in; all times displayed on the page are displayed in your local time zone. We can detect your timezone automatically. Being logged in isn't required.

To clarify so this doesn't sound weird, your computer automatically provides that information to them. They aren't somehow magically obtaining it.

I mean, they could think you're doing a reverse lookup on their IP address to determine where they are to get their timezone. ;D

Once the page footer starts telling you what colour your house is, then we can worry.

Feature request maybe?
