Approved Use local timezones on stats and sourcebans

[Maddo]

If your not sure what I mean, when you look at this forum the time displayed is the time where you are now, which for me at the time of writing this is 12:15, if you are in Europe time, the time I post this would be 13:15, on America time, anything from 02:00 - 09:00, depending on your time zone.
It would make a lot of sense and be really useful if the stats page and SourceBans work with local times.

Yep, that's what prompted me to make the thread, been thinking for a while though that it would be better with local time.

Just to inform:
Skial HLstatsX: Pacific Time Zone (PTZ) = UTC - 7:00
Skial Sourcebans: Eastern Time Zone (ETZ) = UTC - 4:00

Yeah, it's all over the place, sets my OCD in overdrive :D
I just hope it's an easy thing for Bottiger to implement, I would imagine it is, as pretty much everywhere you go reflects your own time zone nowadays.

They should be on the same timezone. I don't care which one it is, but Stats and bans should be on the same. It would make things easier...

I think the time is registered at local time atm (Zebra you know the server location?), but if Botty could change it to all register in the same time zone it would be cool and handy.

There's no option to set the timezone based on your browser for sourcebans and hlstats.

There's no option to set the timezone based on your browser for sourcebans and hlstats.

Is it possible to set a static "ETZ" after every 'expire on' and 'invoked on' on Sourcebans?

That would be a nice compromise to make it easier for most users to find out when they are allowed back onto the servers. The problem right now is that Sourcebans lack an easily viewed reference of what the 24h clock is based on.

I'd say GMT 0 because that's the easiest to compare for everyone.

I will set sourcebans to GMT-8. Hlstats can only use the server time zone and changing the server time zone now will mess up our records.

Cool, by the way did you mark this Need Help or should it be Approved?
