| I've searched the forum here, and it only seems that there is an older version of the timezone mod. Does anyone have a newer version? |

Not much work at all. Store the offset from your current server time in their profile and then add:
if fDate <> "" and strM_TIMEZONE <> "" then fDate = datetostr(dateadd("h", strM_TIMEZONE, strtodate(fDate)))
to the chkDate function.
If anyone knows a way to get UTC time within ASP without Java, let me know. |

| I think Huw did this, so maybe he'll be the best one to ask. |

How would that give you the users local time ?

You have to use javascript, there are no utc functions in vbscript, |

You're adjusting the display of the date (stored in the servers local time) by whatever offset the users have stored in their profile. |

I should've mentioned this isn't just an idea but already implemented. kawiforums.com uses this and it works just fine except for DST changes. Hence my need for a UTC function. Right now I leave the server to it's own devices in adjusting the time for the shifts. It's not a problem as long as the user lives in a timezone that observes DST.
I also modded the function to display "Today" in red instead of the date if the date returned is today. Makes seeing new posts much easier. |

Ok, I understand now, that is essentially what the timezone mod does, but it stores the offset from GMT as does the server.
You will still have to use javascript. |

| Err, what's UTC time? I know how to advance or decrease the time for users I planned on having it where they set what timezone they are in and then finding the difference from that timezone to the one the server is in, and then changing the post time accordingly. I'm not sure what to do about daylight savings time though. |
