I think the original bug reported here has been done.
Meanwhile I'll do a quick plugin for showing signatures once per page, then admins can install that if they want it. But meanwhile, this thread can go to the archived board.

So it is just a UI matter, that I can look into separately.

Curious, that part worked for me as expected. Anyway, does it show the right times everywhere? (i.e. it's just a UI problem rather than anything else)
OK, so I think this is a strange bug somewhere in the bowels of things. Timezone identifiers that have an _ in them appear to be broken, but any others work as expected (e.g. if you pick Central European, which is what I tested with, the internal identifier is Europe/Amsterdam, and it works as expected, but Eastern US/Canada is using America/New_York)
Hmm, I think this is a deeper problem with the profile code but I'll look into it.

Archived fixes / [Bug] Re: Select menu is slightly broken on touch screens
« on March 30th, 2012, 03:21 PM »
Hmm, iOS' implementation is pretty natural, as it only shows you the scrollbar as you're scrolling, but I've wondered if there shouldn't be a visual cue that the selection area is larger than what's currently displayed.
And woohoo! 2012 is very definitely shaping up to be a helluva year for both of us!

I'm in the middle of going through other bugs, so adding new hooks isn't really what I wanted to do, ahahha. In my case I was only going to do it temporarily so that I could work on the thought hooks, but nothing more than that.

No, it really wouldn't.
The server absolutely *has* to have a timezone anyway, and PHP will vomit errors every call to time() and date() amongst other things if you try to call either without a timezone. So if you already have a timezone, you might as well do it properly and be done with it.
The plus side is that if you pick the right region, daylight savings should be handled automagically for you by way of the TZ database.

It is currently broken when it comes to thoughts, which is why this got posted :P But now that I know that, I can change that and it'll let me make some sense of implementing hooks for thoughts when I get around to it (unless you want to?)

OK so I implemented the list of timezones. Unlike the admin one which is automatically populated, this one isn't because it does actually need to be shown to users and as such shouldn't have a bajillion entries that are mostly duplicated.
This is compiled off several different sources and should be accurate (and it should work, too) so when the site gets updated, give it a shot.

This problem is only going to get worse as touch-capable desktops become more prevalent, so I'd be inclined to implement it like that and run with it. (Though I realise it's not the best solution.)

Well, it's going to end up being a dropdown to pick timezones rather than hour-offset. Which also means that India will be represented properly too.

How faster would it be, since you need to join the board_access table anyway..?

Oh, the entire concept of date/time is complicated to get right, and I'd long wondered if I had or not.
That said, I never really wanted to keep the time offset anyway, and long ago started to make changes to move away from it to proper timezone support anyway. Internally it's even handled, too, I just didn't get as far as making a nice UI for it.
