By "screwed" I assume you mean "in the position you are right now and have to do it yourself". There has been a patch put out by M$ for the US shift in DST this year and I think I read somewhere about the Aussie change too.
So the worst you can say is that a few countries would be no better off.
The rest of them would be.

I showed you the proof that forums do it after you denied all knowledge of it; now you deny it works. pah!

So Russ would have to write a javascript method for collecting the DST settings of users (not easy as far as I know) and even then it wouldn't work for everyone (and would be wrong for a decent number at the border times)? Sounds like a good use of time and resources.

Go back to complaining that Databases == Cheating. That was more entertaining. Or better yet, go somewhere else entirely.

I've noticed before that every time someone makes a suggestion you seem to think that your opinion counts more than theirs and once you are proven to be wrong you come out with crap like " go to another site" "you are a retard" and similar childish remarks.


nb. I'd prefer it if you went somewhere else entirely - and there's plenty of others feel the same way.

databases - Ha Ha!

It's not a request, it's a suggestion. In the Suggestion Forum. 🙄

And I know the system here - I don't expect anything.

I think the site idea has merit.

You can easily get the individual user's system time using javascript. Without having thought too long or hard about the solution, I think you could just store in the cookie, what the difference between the users system time and the server's time, and use that as your difference. Seeing as most pcs update automagically, this solution should allow the RHP time to also update automagically.

You shouldn't get on people's backs just for wanting to progress, Phlab. 😉

Alright, I'll admit it! I like to change my clock manually! I like that feeling of coming to this site, and needing to switch my time back or forward.

I'm the guy in the kitchen next to my atomic clock with my wristwatch set and ready to click. I wait for the seconds to come around, and BANG! I smack that button. Now, when someone asks me the time I can say... "It's EXACTLY 11:13 and 52 seconds.

I suppose if my computer gets the time right, RHP could also.

😠
