I have eliminated the only strange error I could find with this, so I am moving it to full releases.

What This Does
If your users pay as little attention to their options as mine do, this might be just what you need. It uses a JavaScript to detect when a user has their timezone setting set different than their computer's clock. If the computer time does not match, the user is given a JavaScript prompt on your main page asking whether he/she would like to adjust their timezone setting. If they select yes, a new window will pop up, make the change, and close. EXCEPTION: This will yield very unsatisfactory results for users in strange timezones whose offsets are not whole numbers (i.e. Newfoundland is GMT-3.5). I haven't figured out how to do this yet, but I will update this hack if I do figure it out. You may want to just remove those options from your registration/profile options.

Scroll down for screenshots.

Let me know how it works out, and, as always, click INSTALL if you use it, please!

Enjoy!

Just re-installed, seems to be working fine! Question, after getting the first prompt, clicking ok, the second alert box appears, but there is a small window which appears in the upper left corner of my screen... why is that?

Glad to hear it. It's the window that the update script runs in.

In IE, the window is so tiny, you can't see what it says. In Mozilla, the javascript window covers it up.

Found a bug, or a problem. If your time setting in your User CP is set to anything above GMT -11, it updates in the wrong direction. My time zone is GMT -5. If I set to GMT -11, or GMT -12, etc, the script updates me to GMT -29. Going in the other direction, GMT +11, GMt +12, etc, it updates back to GMT -5, which is correct. Hope all that makes sense...

Yes, I have people who's offset is +11. They don't set it (so on the boards it's listed as offset 0) and it updates to -13.
