Every single forum has an option to change your timezone so you can have an accurate perception of when new posts were, well, posted.
Yeah, the timezone thing is a bit annoying. Living on the other side of the world, I’m not even gonna attempt to convert post times in my head all the time. I had thought that perhaps there might be some individual WordPress account setting that each of us could change, if not something on the forum itself, but looked one time and found nothing.
