time zone

[phazei]

I don't know if this is a bug or not... but...

What time zone are these downloaded in?
Does yahoo stamp all the messages with a GMT time zone and
then based on your settings while logged in shift the time
on the page?

I ask because I just noticed that the date pgoffline lists for a
message I just posted is 11:55PM Monday but I posted it at
4:55pm Monday.


If that is the case, it would be nice if we could put our timezone
into pgoffline so it will show when it was posted in our own
timezone.

Hi Adam,

PGO gets the time from whatever is on Yahoo. Its kind of a policy here not to alter messages on the database in any way. Partly because it'd make backwards checking impossible but mostly because if you export these records as an archive you're exporting something that has been altered and when thats someone elses message, thats not a good thing.

However... what might be possible is to alter the messages display list to show local times without altering the actual timestamp of the message.

Will add it to the development request queue.

Cheers,

Wilson.
