Time Zones: For Release Date Times

[dmbaggs]

So I know we have a lot of members from all over the world on the Discourse and with many release dates having times specific to the United States I figured this might help those in other parts of the world. I know we have some members from Australia on here and others from the UK and both of those are on this list. Check it out and let me know if it helps!


TIME ZONES!



Simply drag the time at the top to meet your local time. From there look on the left side to find the city or time zone you are trying to find the time of. Look across back to the green line to see the time there. It's pretty simple to understand.


Hope this helps! Maybe you could use to find the local time of the Dan and Dave deck release tonight!

It's not perfect, but it's so simple even a caveman could do it...  Thanks!

Well it's not like you need it haha it's more for the non U.S. members

Whats wrong with it, since you mentioned it's not perfect.

Actually, the US has enough time zones - plus specific locations that don't observe daylight saving time (what most of the world calls "summer time") - that keeping track can be a little bit of a challenge at times.

The slider for the time is very simple to operate, but selecting a specific minute is nearly impossible.  You just have to slide it to be "close enough" and work out the rest from there.  The number of time zones available is also pretty small.

Yeah I see what youre saying. Although I don't think minutes really matter, it's more about the hour. The lack of time zones was kind of silly

It is what it is, a quick and simple tool for people who don't want to be bothered with something more useful because it requires more thought/effort to interact with.  To the average American, the remote control was practically a more important invention than the television!

Well it is more useful because it gets the job done quicker! If youre in Australia you can find the times for PST and EST rather fast.
