Posting Time

  • There is room in a post title to show the time of a post in the poster's local time, as well as in GMT (or is it only in GMT because that's my current timezone?)

    I can guess people aren't really up at 3:30am posting to SQL Server Central - they're just in another timezone, but it would be useful to know.

  • Interesting idea. I'll pass along to the forum vendor. Changes like that we try to get them to incorporate.

    I can assure you that some of us are posting at 3:30am. :laugh:

    Yup. I was posting at 1am the other day, though I doubt anyone would have noticed (GMT + 2 timezone)

    It's in the timezone you specify under your account properties. I see the times either GMT + 1 or GMT + 2 depending on USA's daylight saving. There's a bug somewhere....

  • Thanks GilaMonster, I've found out how to check a poster's timezone.

    And I see you're in South Africa too - So its early summer there? which just reinforces how f.f.f.f.freezing cold it was for me cycling into work today 2 deg C, windchill of -8

    We consider late nov - early feb to be mid summer. It's been around 30 C for the last week. Major contrast to Seattle, week before last. < shiver >
