Default Time display at footer of Vbulletin
How do I display time in a specific timezone at the bottom of vbulletin footer?

My site shows GMT which I would rather have indicate EST but for the life of me I cannot find that option.THanks much!

I am on 3.6.9

If logged in, it will show the users timezone as set in their UserCP.

As a followup, what's the correct method in vB for converting a timestamp to the users timezone as specified in the UserCP? I have a series of unix timestamps stored in the EST5EDT timezone and I wish to have a formatted date displayed to the users in their local preference. vbdate() seemed the most logical but it doesn't seem to be doing conversions.

Are you trying to get it to show the user's local date and time?

No, I have a Unix timestamp in EDT, I'd like it to display it human-readable in whatever timezone the user has defined in their preferences. So if the timestamp is actually today at 5pm if the user had PST/PDT selected in their preferences they'd see it as 2pm.

I thought vbdate() took care of conversion but this was a mistaken assumption and I was wondering if there was some built-in method of doing this in vB?

I think you need to look at the vbmktime function.

That would be if I wanted to convert the human readable into unix epoch.

Basically I have: 1209057260 (which is 2008-04-24 13:14:19, the local timezone of the server). If a user has their preferences set for PST I want to be able to display '2008-04-25 10:14:19' to that user or in whatever TZ they have set from the UserCP.
