    DNFourm Time

    I would like to see a clock on DNForum.

    When some one adds a end time for a forum auction, depending on location and daylight saving time it seems to get very confusing.

    There is a clock on the lower end of this site, I live in the EST zone (-5).
    Depending on whether I'm loged in or loged out the time is not the same.

    Hmm,

    I understand what you mean. Let me see how we can go about syncing these times better so it is not as confusing as it is.

    I will get back to you in a couple days to see what we can do.

    Thanks
    Huseyin,

    Hi,

    I have checked and there doesnt really seem to be a clock hack we can add.

    The forum is on EST time and you will have to pay attention to the sellers post as sometimes they highlight an end time in a different time zone based on where they live.

    I will continue to look and see if there is a way we can improve the time format.

    Is it on EST or EDT now?

    New York (Eastern US) is on EDT now (remember - spring ahead, fall back?) EST now is 1 hour behind EST.

    As I type this post it is 2:11PM EDT and 1:11PM EST.

    Why not just display a formatted time() command saying this is DNF official time. At the bottom of the page it displays the time you have set in the options, but you can make a print out depending on where the server is located. This way if I have mine set to GMT-4, the DNF time may be different. Then when we start auctions the seller can specify the end time based on DNF's official time.

    Wouldn't need a hack to do this.

    I don't know, it seems quite simple to me. There are definitely enough cgi and other codes for displaying time. Just make a clock, and let that be the official DNF time. Seems like a very good idea.
