AFAIK, there's no way to set a local time to convert all the post times etc. A little time widget combined with a local time zone setting would be nice. (I checked all the member settings I could find. I wouldn't be surprised if this feature is already there somewhere.) |

I'm not sure how to handle daylight savings time for different areas

Aren't there libraries in PHP / Perl / etc that do the conversion automagically if you hand them the time zone and GMT time? Those have all the fiddly daylight savings time nonsense and when countries change their laws (like we did a few years ago) you just get the change in a patch. |
