Timezones
I still don't think they are right....if a timezone isn't set then the time doesnt appear on the who's online page, or does it?......if someone is in the same timezone as me, what should happen?

Andy is in my timezone yet next to his name I see:

What happens when you set your time difference?

You won't see the timezone if the user you are looking at is in the same timezone as yourself.

Andy hasn't set a timezone - http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=199610#199610

Hmm wouldn't it be better to show no timezone if none is set otherwise it is misleading?

Then you wouldn't see times for anyone in the server's timezone

You could add a one liner at the top..

"Current Localtime: blah"

....and then you don't need to see the same time next to every user.

Or maybe add some sort of indication that no timezone is set so it doesn't look like the person has just forgotten what timezone they are in :)
