Time zone troubles?
 

Is there a hidden setting I'm missing to set the forums to display in local time, or is it GMT for everybody?

IIRC, this board was sent to allow Zulu only

Darn, kind of confusing when I come by at 7:30 in the evening and it says someone's posted tomorrow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

What is Zulu time?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's basically the same as GMT...

Check out these links... http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/MAEL/ag/zulu.htm

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Greenwich Mean Time. The time at the prime meridian, 0 deg longitude, planet Earth.

Not the local time at Greenwich, England -- they use European time, GMT+1.

[EDIT]
Ohh, Rag's link tells me I'm using an outdated term, oh well, I'll always find it funny Greenwich doesn't use the time of the prime meridian -- I know it's important to match Europe -- still funny 'tho.

Read through the Cantina and you'll find information regarding Timstones Gearbox. It's got some rather funny conversations with the Box as the center of it all.

"Read through the Cantina".
Good one Rags, do you know how long that will take him? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">True... Hmmm... I guess he could just do a search for subjects dealing with the Gearbox. But that isn't as fun. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Time zone troubles?
 

I don't think the Gearbox is as versatile as a Tardis. The Gearbox just lets you travel forward or back in time and it doesn't have the ability to teleport to other planets.

...I miss Doctor Who. That was one of my favorite shows many years ago.
