it would be nice if you could visually show the timezones like on fandom.com's UBB at the bottom

This is how they did it in cgi for that UBB

If it helps anyone.
Sorry I mentioned the cgi word around here.

I would love to have this hack

Now this is one of the few hacks I'd find really useful for my site. I'd want it to handle daylight saving automatically though.

Start coding eva2000! You just got some new PHP books didn't ya? :)

Actually that wouldn't be that hard. It would be a matter of knowing what timezone the server reports, then offsetting that for each timezone (+1, +2, -1, -2, etc.). I might be able to whip something up. (Emphasis on *might*!;))

Eva2000, I notice your site has these world times. Did anyone ever publish the code to do so? Did you do it manually with offsets? Can you publish the code you used? Thanks much.

Hi Eva,

I can't find the hack that lists the world times on index.php. Has it been removed?
