Time Zones

Is there anyway to determine what time zone the system THINKS i am in? I know the lfg says it 'automatically' adjusts the times, but with all things automatic it would be nice to know what the 'automatic' system came up with, especially if I am logged in through some connection that might not really reflect my actual wall clock time... A simple: "You are in EST, all times reflect that" or even better: The current time in your time zone is : X:XX
Aye. +1 on that.
+1 on that too. Like you could set a GMT clock and your own already estabelished clock
Yeah, it wouldn't be a bad idea to show that someplace. For reference, it's based on whatever the local time on your computer is, doesn't have anything to do with connection/network/geolocation. You could be located in Canada but if your computer's time is set to GMT, it will show times in GMT.
While we're on it, could we maybe have each user's time zone displayed by their username? Ideally, we could have a built-in tool that makes it easier to decide on a time for playing and/or split into subgroups. It would probably work something like this <a href="http://www.when2meet.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.when2meet.com/</a>

Andrey, Disclaimer: The following is my own opinion and not being made as a Roll20 Mod. Posting a user's timezone may bring up privacy issues. Every little&nbsp;piece&nbsp;of information can add up there. It should be up to the users to post what time zone they are in rather than have it broadcast for them. I for one would like to retain control over such a statement.&nbsp; - Gauss
Ok, so you could just build the timezone-agnostic calendar tool like the one in the link, which would probably work better anyhow
