PTO Today

OK.. i frequent 2 other boards. one is on Eastern time, the other is on Pacific Time.. Those are easy to figure out ... am I the ONLY dingbat that looks at the posts and has a hard time figuring out who posted when, and whether or not they are on right now?? I am always scrolling down to look at the GMT !




Tim- can the time be posted at EST instead of GMT?

I've got an even better option for you.

Go here:

...and choose exactly where you are, and the whole board will display accurately for your local time.

As a user, you can set your own timezone. Go "User Profil" then "Edit Options", you'll see the timezones. Select the one you want and everything should be converted for you (as long as you are logged in).

It would be nice if the defaults could be set to Eastern time so that if somone doesn't change their profile, at least it's not too far off.

Yup.. I am the ONLY dingbat.. guess I need to spend more time checking out the options on these new boards.. sorry, Tim.. and thanks, JHB and Tim!!

Nope, Robin, you aren't the only dingbat, just the first one to raise your hand with this question. I was having issues too.

I never even payed attention to the time, you are one step ahead of me!

Thanks for the question Robin. while I haven't had much time to look around yet. Busy doesn't cut it.... LOL .... I'm sure that's all of us around here.

I took the time to change the time to my zone and noticed the flip for threads. I'm going to try the newest on top/first. One thing I hate is when I either have to scroll through all of the older replies to find where I left off or I pick the actual last reply and would then find myself forgeting I was at the bottom and tried scrolling the bar the wrong way.

After finally getting used to the other - we'll see!!!

LOL! Okay, I tried it out flipped. Problem is that it's been so long that I've checked in that too many of the posts were all completely new for me. So that meant I had to scroll all the way to the bottom again.

So I went back to the old stand by.

I participate in many webinars and, now that everything is global, have to be very aware of the time zone of the host site. A couple I've really wanted to attend were were being broadcast out of England or Austrailia - so if I converted the time correctly meant I had to participate at 3am or something! Nothing like dragging yourself out of a nice warm bed to hear an hours' worth of less-than-entertaining technology discussions! But at least it's made me look twice at the time zone thing!

hmm.. glad to see others are brave enough to confess sorta like my confession on another thread that I had NO idea what the difference between a PTO and PTA was.. so I finally read the very informative article posted by ptotoday !
