This story raises a fun question we've been punting on since Impaq Me was created: what time zone should we operate out of?

If a user says that the Campaign should start on 8/4/2014, right now that will default to starting at midnight 8/4/2014 GMT, which is roughly dinner time on 8/3 for US timezones.

If this is fine, I'll leave it as is. If we want it to mean midnight eastern or midnight pacific, or if you want to specify the exact time of day, then we can do any of those things, but it'll be a bit more work to make sure it doesn't introduce any data integrity issues.

Exact time of day would be preferable

searls commented 10 years ago

There's a standard way to implement that, @aschweigert, but it's only supported on Google Chrome at this time. You cool with basically requiring people use Chrome when editing a campaign's start & end time?

I don't think we should count on that...could we just show the time in either ET or PT and force everyone to use that for now?
