NewBB - Time zone offsets - relative, not absolute

The user time zone selections are labelled as specific time zones relative to GMT: GMT, GMT+1, GMT-1, etc. But the value selected is apparently used as an offset to the server's time, not to GMT.

So if the server is running on GMT-8, and I want to see topic/post times displayed in GMT-5, then I would need to select the zone GMT+3 (which is confusing).

I think it would be clearer to replace the time zone selection menu with a text box for entering a numerical offset.

You can set the server gmt to whatever you want it.

I don't follow you.

Could you explain that please?

System admin > preferences > general settings

You can set the server gmt to whatever you want and you can set the default gmt to whatever you want. I set the default to gmt and the server to my own gmt of -5.

A related question (in that it is about time-zones):

I don't see any support for areas (such as Arizona) that do not use daylight savings time.

Are there any plans to support that in future releases?
