A way to remember account for time zone differences for events on this site!

Joseph45

Hello everyone! As I’m sure you are aware, events held on this site are set to end at a specific time. However, these events end at the time according to Central European Time, or UTC +1 hour(or UTC +2 hours during Central European Summer Time (Daylight Saving Time). As many of us are from different time zones, it is important to remember what our times are relative to this time zone so we don’t miss the chance to earn our sweet prizes! Below is a list of calculations based on the number of hours to be added or subtracted to make sure that you post before the event closes. Please note that these hours do not account for Daylight Saving Time changes, and must be done based on whether or not your country of residence uses is currently or does or does not use it.

If you live in UTC-11 hours: -12 hours

Great job @Joseph45 This will be very useful to all of us. I always lose myself in time zones. And right now I am attending a course which is in a different time zone so next months I am changing night for days 😁 But I don't mind cause I like night very much! Anyway, thanks for sharing.
