    Don't feel like changing it. "Board time" is "board time," and it's referred to as such.

    wait, what?

    didn't know you COULD do that... not that i realy care. board time is board time. the conversion's a piece of cake if you really need to do it. and it's not like you don't have a clock you can look at on your computer screen anyways...:p

    No, because I'm so used to calculating board time naturally that if I changed it to my time it would seriously confuse me.

    Yes, convenience. Even though its by computer and not by profile, which is really odd. So if I sign in on a different computer, times are board time and not local.

    Its not that its really annoying, though, because I was used to calculating board time for years before the feature was added.

    No.

    Actually, I did change it once, but it was making me very confused since I was so used to the board time. It was even more confusing when people were referring to board time and I had to do the calculations anyway to figure out the time, so I changed it back.

    No, I don't mind (only three hours). Plus, I have to calculate board time anyway.

    No, the time zone matches with the board time.

    No. It's "board time". I don't mind the time difference. If I want to know the time, I'll look at one of my clocks.

    No, because it's not something I care about. The time difference didn't bother me before the feature was available, so it never occurred to me to switch it over after the feature became available.

    I changed it to my time. But that was just because it was convenient.

    I do because it's annoying otherwise, but I still manage to speak in "board time" somehow. 8-}

    Yeah I did, It's easy to get used to the default but it's a little easier and less confusing the other way

    I don't really think it's that useful. (Plus I don't care enough to figure out how...)

    Wow... the years that I've been here, I didn't know that we had one.
