Thanks for the non answer.

1600 CEST

1400 zulu

0900 US CST

I wasn't trying to be obtuse.

The fact is I have no idea what "EST" is in US speak (nor what the German language web sites were trying to say - I'm guessing they were conversion sites of some sort).

I do know what Zulu (GMT) is and I continue to be suprised that we just don't use that all the time.

"Here" for me is Zulu + 10

London is usually Zulu (due to Summer time though is now Zulu + 1)

France is Zulu + 1

etc.

Then we would all have a common reference point.

I guess it just reflects what you are used to.

Didn't react at first reading.

In fact in France we got Summer and Winter time.

So basically we're right now in Zulu + 2.

Well if Zulu time is “too hard” (i.e. you have to do the maths) then personally I prefer this:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html

You type in your city, your local start time and finish time, it generates a list of what that is everywhere else.

So an event on the 12th running from 0700 to 0900 Sydney time generates (its 3 columns sorted alphabetical I just didn’t resort it after the copy and paste):

So the poster just needs to provide their nearest big city the date and the times.

The current practice of posting with some local time zone code inevitably just generates these “What does EST / EST / AEDST / BST / CET / .... mean for me?” questions.

If we want this community to grow then we do need to think globally and stop posting times that only make sense to people who live, relatively speaking, nearby.

Holy muffin!!!

That's really handy.

Tank you very much Gibsonm!

I suggest we have a "SB time" post on the front page here. All other times she be off "SB TIME"

If one wants to know the start time of a mission, then he goes to the start page and checks the SB TIME against his local time...it's sooo simple.....:)

Sure as long as you tell people what time zone (or which location) the SB server is using otherwise that’s pointless without a frame of reference.

And if its GMT, as the bottom of the forum page suggests, then you are back to good old “zulu time” which I’ve been pushing all along. :)

Well, that sucks. Right after briefing I got a white screen and had to close my game. So angry that I didn't get to play in this - looked like it was going to be really fun from the briefing. :decu:

Question about the SB MP community in general, is it considered to be out of the question to rehost when someone crashes during briefing? Is it possible for the host to save the same so routes/graphics/positions etc get saved?
