Diego- The time zone used in the forums can be user defined, via the user control panel.
Throughout the content area it is Eastern US Time.

Top left. Under where it says board index. Click 'User Control Panel'.
Then click the 'Board Preferences' tab.

I see but I'm not refering to the forum. You haven't understood my first message

For me, the recent forum posts show in my currect selected time zone. I think that is appropriate.
As far as the content area of the site, I would guess it a reasonable amount of work relative to the benefit to change from the standard of showing Eastern US time for everyone, but I don't know. I don't see how a different standard would be any better, assuming it couldn't also be user defined.

2 is in the What's new page. I bet that you aren't understanding me, sorry. I don't mind if it's EDT or PDT but 1 and 2 should be similar

I've never talked about the time in the forum Montana. Anyway, I've understood what you've said. I was only doing a comment for trying to improve SP2 in the future

What Diego is suggesting is that when thread titles are quoted in the left column on the *front page*, the time should be translated to match the timezone of the rest of the non-forum parts of the site. In other words, to Eastern time rather than GMT. I don't agree with this; there are no other time stamps on the front page so there's not really anything to match to. I'd rather see the rest of the site changed to GMT and/or configurable.
Note that the times seen on the front page already do obey the time-zone configuration feature of the forums.

I guess what I would ask you is, considering a change here on the time zones is a high amount of effort, what is the real benefit?
I mean, what issue is it currently causing that the time zone on pictures is not configurable?
Those benefits, if they are any other than cosmetic, also have to be weighed against other site enhancements that may have a larger impact.

I'm not saying that nartreb, sorry. mrchad9 knows it
