Pachi had a great idea for adding time / date tags. They will take a time or date in one format and display it in your local timezone. You will first need to edit your profile to select your time zone for this to work.

The input is very flexible, allowing you to input in either numbers or some textual methods.

Examples:

[time]13:05 KST[/time]

Output:
04:05 GMT (+00:00)

[time]7pm edt[/time]

Output:
23:00 GMT (+00:00)

[date]April 28 04:00 KST[/date]

Output:
Tuesday, Apr 27 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

[date]next thursday 10am GMT[/date]

Output:
Thursday, Apr 22 10:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)

Kind of funny that only just now is this function revealed, even after TL has been involved in multiple time zones for quite a few years now

Still, that'll make everything sooo convenient ^_^

Great new feature! Will calendar events continue to be given in KST, or will the new system be adopted for that as well?

Edit: Oh, and will the time be automatically set forward/back one hour for daylight savings time?

I hope you've accounted for switches in daylight savings when it happens again in fall.

Awesome! Sick new feature, I've failed trying to convert time zones to mine on my own too many times before I started using a program to do it lol. Much easier for me ^^

For now it's just the bbcode tags.

Apparently there was a new time zone planned for Pacific, but it was scrapped. It still exists in spirit though.

If it fails, blame PHP!

Excellent feature. I also second that it should update the calendar on the right side as well if it wouldn't be too much work. At least something to think about changing in the future if not now.
