Question

What is the time used in these forums?

One would tend to assume that the time shown in these forums (for example, the posting times) refer to the USA, although this could be wrong. However, there are (I think) four different time zones in that country. Maybe for the natives it is quite clear what "8:13 AM" means, but it is not at all clear for at least this one inhabitant of another country. Even acronyms such as EPT (I am not sure if I recall this correctly from the old forums) don't mean much to me.


Wouldn't it be a good idea to specify in some clear way what time being used in these forums?

    I do, and we are in that odd Arizona, USA, time zone, where we do not "celebrate" Day Light Savings Time - stays the same all year long. Now, scattered about our state are various reservations. They DO apply DST, so the time will be off by an hour, just driving a few blocks, and then revert in another few blocks.
