Hey Nikki!
Thanks for the help.
Yeah, I'm a brit too, time zones easily confuse me - I'm in finland now and its two hours ahead, its confusing enough.So I'll have to try and sign out next time I'm on a public computer.
So what time zone is chicargo in then? At the very least, perhaps bob could display the time zone abbrivation something like GMT +2 hours (finland) or GMT -7 or whatever. I guess that just this would just be a one off change.... Or he could even just put the abbreviation that they use in American, ummm, east coast time, or whatever they use..I don't even know what they use!
Well I mean, in science you're never supposed to just have a number without a unit attached, if you see what I mean. At least with the timezone abbriavation after the time you could work it out. At the moment, you have no idea when 12.15 is in relation to your time. At least if it said 12.15 GMT or whatever the abbreviations are over the US etc, you'd know..... I mean even a single GMT-5 (thats american east coast time I think) would suffice. That way everyone in the world would know what you meant......is that what you asked about? I'm not trying to suggest that the time ws recalculated for you. But the unit thing would be good, and I imagine, nothing too hard perhaps?
Oh well.
Kind regards
Meri
