Locale Timings

Chris Just a observation, I'm in the uk at 22:23 but the postings should take account of the postee time. Not a critism, how can you take the local time of a posting?
I can't see anything in the server variables that would allow me to work out the client's time. Also, if I based the dates on local time then message order would be all messed up. I could always have "Local time" and "Server time" date fields, but I think in the end it's more hassle than it's worth. Although, I guess if I could work out your local time zone I could always use the server's time for calculations, but display the times relative to you. Hmmm...intriguing... cheers, Chris Maunder

It's been a while since I looked at JavaScript/VBScript/JScript, but one of them might have access to time zone information on the web client (?) If it's possible, you could leave all the time settings the way they are & run a script in the web page to automatically convert the timestamps to whatever "local time" is. -Jason
