I am not suggesting a change in how dates are exchanged between agents. Both UTC dates and local time dates have their advantages and disadvantages.
When managing sites where users log in from around the world, we log all activity using UTC. That is the only way to do it. We then display that information based currently on the timezone they enter in their account profile as we can't do that from their browser information. When an anonymous user logs in we use UTC since we can't display 'local' times based on their browser return in case there IS a change of daylight saving in the calendar period being displayed. The current discussion is how we then handle this normalised data when scrolling the calendar back past 1970 ;) It may not matter if the time is displayed an hour wrong, but it would be nice to be consistent. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
