So we have res time, which is American,
But not everyone here lives in America,
So why not have a your time as well?

Well your probably all going to start shouting at me 'but if someone says 5 pm in the raffles we won't know when!'
Easy solution,
There will be a res time (used to say when something will happen and everyone from all countries has to know)

And a your time (used in auctions so it's easier for you to know when it ends)
Your time can be managed In the preferences section.

So tell me your thoughts!
Just say anything you think might need to be added, or gotten rid of.

If someone says 5 p.m. in the auctions or anywhere else you will know when; there's a clock over on the left, above your username and currently selected pet, on every page (except forum pages) that lets you know the current site time. =)

It would be much more confusing to provide a "your time" calculation to everyone bc most would just start using that as a reference for when things would happen, and the rest of us would not know when that is. So for that reason, no support.

Ok, I guess I explained really bad, I knew someone would say that, what I meant is that if someone mentions a time they can use the res time so everyone has an idea when something Is going to happen but maybe in auctions just for you it says the time when it ends for you in your time, so there can be like 2 times? Res and your?
(I think I am making no sense here)

It doesn't matter though because every opinion counts :)

I think even with that it would still be confusing. ^^; Having two separate times over each other would cause a lot of mixups. Having one consistent time is more fair for everyone. 

If users are concerned about seeing when things end, they can just compare their current time to Res' current time, then add or subtract the difference to whatever the Auction time is. Nice and simple, you can even use a calculator for it. uvu Or you can just look up what your timezone is and do it that way. ;o

So no support from me, I don't think it's necessary to have separate times listed and would just cause more mixups.
