Why can't I set my timezone to -5 (EST)? It's not an option in the drop-down menu.

Looks like the time zone code is broke. Everything is showing up PST for me, even though I've got Eastern set.

Hey Matt, you're applying daylight saving time to timezones labeled as "UTC+-X (someplace)" in preferences...

TimezonePony .... It's that time of the year again. Instead of showing the false EST/PST/etc standard timezone stamps, can the system be tweaked to either show the correct EDT/PDT/etc, or at least ET/PT/etc? Cue snarks.

Why is the time wrong, as I view it? Sitting here on the Australian east coast, it's 5:10 pm, or UTC + 10, which is how my preferences are set. So what's the Metafilter setting, where's it gone wrong?

Time Zone problem? My prefs are set to display the Eastern TZ, yet I'm seeing everying in PT. I think this is a recent phenomenon, though I may have just missed it before.

Posting to bugs, but not sure if there's something I'm missing - I can set my preferences to GMT or whatever the other abbreviation is, and this shows up on the MeFi front page but not on AskMeFi and MetaTalk. Am I missing something?

Time-zone custom settings don't work properly for AskMe or MeTa, you California-centric bastard.

It's currently 05:37 JST. Metafilter says it's 06:37 JST. I doublechecked, but the user configuration is correct: UTC + 9 hours. Is Mefi applying daylight savings time to Coordinated Universal Time, throwing off calculations?

PST slippage in the blue... Occasionally my time reference on MeFi gets whacked back to PST, though my preferences are EST. When I see the problem, I edit my profile (changing nothing), submit and ta-da, EST. Don't need no pony, just bringing it up. Happens ~ once a month.

Timezone confusion; though my prefs are set for Eastern time, timestamps are coming up PST. ?

Tried deleting cookies, logging out and in, but whilst
MeFi shows my timezone as set in my preferences,
MeTa is a different timezone. Frisbee... sorry... discuss.

I'm not seeing my time zone on the home page, or on comment pages — I'm seeing PST.

Is there any chance the time can be displayed in the top right hand corner in metafilter again?
It's disapeared, I'm in GMT, and so I cannot work out how old the threads are.
Either that, or is it possible to display all the times in GMT, or let the user choose which timezone they want displaying? Fanks very much.
