daylight saving time #25

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Suppose you live on the Pacific coast of the U.S. Normally, you will choose
UTC-8 for PST. But when you go to daylight saving time, you must choose
UTC-7 which is PDT.

This seems more than acceptable to me.

Here's my only qualm with it:

Suppose I am looking at a thread that has posts from January made by myself
living in MST. It is now April and I'm in MDT. Well, I'll read a post and
it will say 6:00pm. Really, at the time in MST, it was made at 5:00pm.
That's my problem.

Should this be corrected?

There may also be timezone issues now!
