Or at least somehow automatically make that information available to users.\r\n\r\nIt would be great if the zone was easily customizable by each user, and could be set by each user according to how they want to report times, and allow them to see the times in their preferred zone.\r\nBut again, just being clear about the time data being presented would go a long way."}}
