Board Times

If there was an option in the user-profile screen to select where you are located in the world, would it be possible to have post times, last activity times, etc... in your own local time, instead of the American Pacific Standard Time (PST)???

 

Because it would require a board coding change, it's not possible.

 

I think that would needed to be added by IGN.

 

I'll blame IGN again. Why? Because they're the ones who would have to update the system.

 

Is the entire board in PST? I'm in PST, so I never noticed.

 

Yes, the board is on Pacific Standard Time.

 

not so; they are on Pacific Day Light Savings time from April through end of October.

 

Convenient for me, since I'm in California.

 

Yeah, I'm in California too.

Lucky for me, otherwise I'd be confused all the time.

 

well, grimby, I think you are 20 or 22 hours ahead of me. I remember when my former boss was in Korea, and trying to coordinate time zones so his wife could talk to him was a real bugger.

 

Grimby, I live in Singapore, which is one hour behind Korean time. I don't really have a problem with JC time - it's just a matter of subtracting a set number of hours all the time. One gets used to it after a while.

 

it looks to me like the only person who ever makes changes to the snowboards code is zerosleep. i wonder if he ever attemped somthing like this.

Not entirely accurate. A new profile system was integrated over at IGN a few months ago, the smilies were updated by IGN, and the "Watch This Topic" and "Private Message User" links were added on each post, again by IGN - without Zerosleep.

 

I guess they mean it's zerosleep outside of IGN upgrades.

 

I got used to this PST. I just add two hours into the clock of the board time and then I'll know what time it is where I'm at.

 

I have a watch, therefore have little use for an accurate JC time. I use only to see if time has passed since a last post in a thread. So, you could put us on Zimbabwae time if you want.

Did I spell Zimbabwae at all right?

 

Zimbabwe

 

I'm two hours ahead of board time.it was confusing at first.but I've gotten used to it

 

grim, are we 20 or 22 hours apart?

 

ok, close enough, so that's 24 hours ahead of me minus 5 hours. ok. gotcha

 

Is the entire board in PST? I'm in PST, so I never noticed.

The same thing happened to me, I never realized till I read someone's complaint about it.

 

There's no way this'll ever happen. Its been suggested many times but there was never enough to reason to implement it.




If it presents a huge problem though, you could always move to the West Coast!
