Re: Universal Clock

Sounds like a strange idea, but, this way we can all be on the same page when it comes to what time does what happen around this place. For a long time I've been confused from time to time on what the hell time things start in comparison to my time zone

So why not have a clock that posts what time it is? so if something is -1400 gmt, there's a clock that identifies your timezone and translates it for you?

I dunno if that's possible, or if I'm even making sense but w/e someone will get it tongue

Friend is a four letter word.

Re: Universal Clock

Check forum its GMT time so you can tell from that how much hours or whatever events will take place

Re: Universal Clock

Nice idea.  Maybe something like this?

The current time is:
GMT: [GMT Time] - Local: [Local Time] - Galactic Time: [Week, Year for your galaxy]

So for me right now it would be:

The current time is:
GMT: 5:16 PM - Local: 9:17 AM - Milky Way: Week 37, 3

Or if I played in multiple galaxies:

The current time is:
GMT: 5:16 PM - Local: 9:17 AM - Milky Way: Week 37, 3 - Orion: Week (something), (something)

This could be unobtrusive enough as a little bar across the top of every page.

Re: Universal Clock

Would it be easier to include it in a sidebar rather than put it into each individual page?

Re: Universal Clock

do you mean easier to devs to code or easier for players to use?

Re: Universal Clock

both pie.  I don't know how it is coded, just noticed that sidebar never has to reload when navigating.

Re: Universal Clock

it'd be the same amount of work in terms of coding.  it'd just be an included file we put in once

i do like the idea of using the sidebar area more, but i think i more like the idea of keeping sidebar for actions/links and keeping some kind of "header bar" for information
