"Next game will be"

I set the "Next game will be" to May 10th on my campaign summary page, and it's saying that's in one week, but it's in two weeks.  I think this could be confusing to my players.  Here's a link to my page . Also, is there a way we can put our timezone in the "Next game will be"?  I'd really like it to say Friday, May 10th at 12pm PST as I have players in different states and countries, but the syntax won't let me put the timezone identifier in there.

Your link is saying not authorized. Have you tried putting it in as "5/10/13 12pm"? If you put it in as May 10th, it sometimes gets confused it seems. If you tried it as the numeral style then I don't have a clue. The way I understand the time setting it is based off of each persons browser and should show the correct adjusted time but I could be wrong.

It appears that the next game will be is rounding down. Technically speaking, May 10th is <2weeks from now so rounding down that is 1week. I will mention this to the Devs and see if it is working as intended. As for the timezone, different people should see the correct time depending on the timezone they are in. However, there have been occasional problems noted with this and some people consider it a good idea to post the time and timezone elsewhere (such as in the description). - Gauss
Oh ok.  I didn't realize the time adjusted to the user's time zone.  That's pretty cool!  I'll try putting the date in numerically. You're totally right, it is less than two weeks, and I totally see how a program would look at it this way.  But we humans would view it as two weeks (as in not this Friday, but a week from Friday).  I could see, though, that this might be difficult/impossible to code in. Thanks for the help!  I'm really impressed with the speed of responses to the tech support!
It would help if it simply doesn't round on a week level, but says "In 13 days" or "In 1 week and 6 days" or so. At this time once it becomes less than 1 week it will switch to the days interval so "this friday" will be "In 6 days" the one after "in 1 week". Which I admit is super confusing.
