I was wondering if any of you rollers know any good website for a great time zone calculator. I am still trying to find out how to setup times.so people can line up.
<a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/" rel="nofollow">http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/</a> is pretty simple to use and easy to see the relation between time zones.
<a href="http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/</a> also works. If you have a campaign listing people will see the time for the next game thingie in their own timezone time as well, if that helps.
It woulb be cool if there was a tag you could use on the forum that would allow dates and times to be displayed in the reader's local time, like it does with the campaign listing, only in forum posts.
I think Canso meant something like type "[gmt=-5]9:00[/gmt]" in a post. For anyone in GMT -5 (US Central time), it would appear as 9:00. For anyone in GMT -4 (US Eastern time), it would appear as 10:00.
That works fine if people put their time in the UTC +/- X format, but I was thinking that some sort of auto conversion would save folks from having to look up the utc offset for the time zone abbreviations, which sometimes doesn't work anyways since some timezones abbreviate to the same thing (been burned by this before).
