About time zones

There always seems to be confusion when planning events with people from across the pond. This is the thread where we put an end to that.

 

I've been using GMT (aka UTC) when planning events, but since that's based on UK time, I imagine it can be confusing for our American friends. They can go to this site to check out what their local GMT is. Just click on TIME IN EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD and select your country from the drop-down menu. Selecting UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA) takes you to a page where you can select your state.

Once you figure out your location's GMT, post it here so I can make a list of GMT zones that are relevant to TAY users.

 

 

UK: GMT (12:00)

Netherlands: GMT+1 (13:00)

Yeah, I didn't want to bother explaining the difference between UTC and GMT. If anyone's interested, they can look it up on Wikipedia. :P I guess you're right though, UTC would make more sense once we start switching to and from daylight savings time.

 

I wouldn't mind editing the OP to refer to UTC instead of GMT, but yeah... Too late. :P

I missed a quotation mark in the OP... This is what it's supposed to look like.

 

Dean, can you still edit it?
