A live, ticking server clock has been added to the site. You can see the clock in the header, when logged in, at the right top of each page. Note that it might take a few seconds to load, but it should not impact the loading time of the webpages themselves. If you notice a change in loading times (for the worse, mostly) since we added the clock, please post here.

Questions:

Does the "Server Clock" automatically sense the time zone we're in?

Does the "Server Clock" automatically sense "Daylight Savings Time?"

Is the "Server Clock" customizable as in one has the ability to change the time zone he/she is in?

Thank You Rens for creating a very useful feature!

It's a server clock, it shows the time of the server. So no, it doesn't because there's no need to.


Sidenote: As per a suggestion in IRC, this clock may be switched for one that counts down to the next day change.

Ar this might be better, how about as an option to switch between them?  :)

That countdown clock has not been created, it would be hard to make such an option. Also, chances are it would just be the countdown, without providing an option to switch.

It can't be! I log into World #730 and it says 1:00 PM! Right now in Central Standard Time is is 2:00 PM!

Tell me, how can that be Easter Time unless it's not counting Daylight Savings Time! Wel,, then it would be right one with CST!

It's a small bug, but whatever the time is for your server, I'll just have to know it's an hour or two earlier that what I know it really is.

Oh well call it whatever time zone is after central. It makes 0 difference to us anyway.
