Subject: Select our own timezone for the forums?

“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”

I don't know if it's an option somewhere on my profile, but why can't we select our own timezone? It's a pain in the ass to convert EST to PDT.

grunts are capable of getting brained (headshoted) by marines and quick witty one liners. and they're funny to watch.

BORN LEADERS!

that would be a nice little change. I sometime have trouble figuring out when someone posted something.

maybe the new hawtness will have it.

It really is a pain. I keep forgetting that this is PDT rather then EST

They should just make an HLG playlist then you guys can hide against each other and see how much fun it is.

bnet is really lacking this feature

I live in the EST time as well. This would be a very nice feature, but it's not hard to add a 3 to the first number on the clock.

It would be nice, but I really don't see the problem, it's not that hard to add a few hours. It would be harder for someone off by 8 hours or so though.

Is math really that hard for you?

Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

Bye.

It would be abused!
Some users would convert to timezones that they don't even need to know!

It's definitely easier to plan community events with everything being in PDT, although I think having a selected time zone then PDT in brackets would be good.

No. Get on our level.

(90% sure it's being implemented next update)

They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace

How will I justify my 4:30am EST posts? "It's only 1:30am Bungie time. The night is young!"

I wouldn't mind that feature.

I would love this feature. The PDT time stamps have caught me off guard in the past.

Not to mention it could be used for boosting somehow! Or something?

BNET IS PERFECT!

We can't give the users too much power, who knows what they could get up to?

OT: I kind of like how, at the moment, the time is the same for everyone. But, if both were displayed, that would be great! GMT+10

That's only 3 hours. Try converting 8 hours.

Edit: Also, our clocks here in the UK change at a different time to those in the US, so that's throws it out even more.

This is how I see timestamps, because it's the way I wanted to see them so they are useful to me. The contents of the tooltip is the result of mousing over one of them.

Maybe you can get some more ideas about how they should be displayed as well.

I would appreciate the option too.

It's a pain in the ass to convert EST to GMT.I agree, it's pretty annoying sometimes.. however it's handy to see what time it is in the US.

Donuts > all other food

I've always wanted this feature. To be honest though after 4 years I've gotten so used to the current system haha. My brain just automatically goes 3 hours ahead of the time of a post nowadays lol.

This feature would still be welcomed.

I wish the Webmaster would stop being on his pee break to listen to this.
