| Right now we have the so called "Bricklink time" which is Eastern Daylight Time
(EDT). This is the time used in the Eastern part of the USA and Canada.
This is not very useful in other parts of the world, especially when it's
used in announcements about site shut downs (for maintenance).
Suggestion: make an extra line in the footer of every page with a couple of time
zones where most BL transactions take place.
It's simple to program and it could read like this
EDT 11:28 | UK (London)..:.. | Central Europe (Berlin) ..:.. | Asia (Bangkok)
..:..
I realize there are dozens of time zones and you can't display them all.
Make this available for the top 80% of the BL-sales.

Or, I don't know, get out of the 1980's and display the time for the
user based on the timezone they choose in a setting in their profile?
