Hi,

I would like to improve a time localization as the personal setting.
All times (and dates) are according to some US zone which is very confusing in
orders and personal messages, especially for other continents than America.

I still wonder: maybe I couldn't find that option. I can't beleive that
it doesn't exist.

Everything runs on BrickLink Local Time.
All orders and other database activity have to be synchronized.

The only time it matters is when a human looks at a time- and time zones wouldn't
really make that less confusing. And it really only applies to the Forum anyway.

I think it was before that- we've been on New York time for a while.

I don't matter which time (UTC i.e. GMT or BLT i.e. BrickLink Local Time)
is reference time for databases. Let they run in the future in the same way.
I just want to see time according to my local timezone. I think it is not a big
problem to convert times according to the my local timezone when displaying.

P.S. According the timestamp, this message is written early this morning, when
I was asleep. I think about BL in my dreams.

I imagine that BL 2.0 will use a more modern forum platform like phpbb.
And then you'll be able to set your time zone, it's already a feature
with such software.

Meanwhile, you could switch your daily cycle to align with BLT.
Think of it like being an astronaut.
