So forgive me for asking but what is the point of displaying the "server time" to us, especially in such a prominent place?
I suppose it is great for people who happen to be in the same time zone ... for many others (particularly those in nearby time zones), it is probably a little confusing.

Is the time stamp on your post above "Sep 27, 2011 11:25pm" confusing to you because it was not that time where you live when you wrote it? The "current time" displayed correlates to that? Perhaps "Café Time" would make it more clear.

Good idea, I think Café Time would be a more accurate label for it.

These states and Washington, D.C., observe only Eastern time: Connecticut Delaware Georgia Maine Maryland Massachusetts New Hampshire New Jersey New York North Carolina Ohio Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina Vermont Virginia West Virginia

As soon as I saw it I posted a thread in the I want to see the manager! forum because it claimed to be Eastern Standard Time when, in fact, it's Eastern Daylight Time.
Apparently that's a matter of semantics (as opposed, I suppose, to a matter of turning your clocks forward an hour). |

Sure, it applies to more than Canada and the US and that's why I gave the link. Pakar did ask specifically about the US though.

Yes, I did as the Café is based in the US basically.
Thanks for the info though S2000magician.
