Clock on homepage

I have fixed the clock on the homepage. It is now correct. I don't intend to have every timezone on there, but if anybody would like another one added then just drop me a message.

UTC and US Westren would be nice.

I think the US has 4 major time zones, I have no idea about Europe but it'd prolly be polite to support more then UK/Central Europe what ever the # is.

UTC is already there. It is (almost) identical to GMT.

As far as I'm aware, all the European members are in either GMT or GMT+1 time zones, so adding more would be surplus to requirement. I don't think anyone lives in the US Mountain time zone either. But I'm quite sure some people live on the west coast.

Maybe adding Syndey on would be a good idea.

yes just add the zones for the current membership, including Vets, if anybody from Tibet or anywhere like that joins; im sure it can be added on an 'as per' basis?. Some European countries are +2 Adze, but nobody i know comes from Turkey :laugh:

Yes, thanks. I'm not that stupid. My point was just that as far as I know, none of our members live in that time zone.

Yeah, Central European time covers almost all of Europe (except Portugal and UK in the west, and a few in the east).

I have added some more timezones.

I have added a time-zone map that I found which is pretty good.

I would have added Sydney, but different time websites seem to disagree about what time it is in Sydney, so I haven't because I don't know which is correct.

Sydney is always 10 hours ahead of UTC. They observe DST when the UK does not.

This means, relative to UK time, that they are currently 9 hours ahead of us. During our winter (their summer) they will be 11 hours ahead of us.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is 9 hours ahead of us, which is 10 ahead of GMT so everybody is right.
