Time Zones
Just a thought, but perhaps the timezone setting should reflect US time zones. Lots of us in the US don't know the relationship between our time zone and GMT. Even if you can't accomidate for Daylight Savings Time, it might be nice to either have people select what they think their time is, or choose a timezone/location out of the standard lists.

Had I been asking for help on setting the time zone properly, I would've posted my question to the Site Help forum of the site. I'm quite aware of working out what the proper GMT offset is for my current time zone. But I was naive and thought that something that might make the site easier for the masses to mess around with might be a good thing to suggest to Phade for the site. The choice of if he thinks that my suggestion is a good idea or not is his.

Oh yeah, since I live on the East Coast, and don't live in that wacky subset of Indiana, I'm in Daylight Savings Time. Which would make it GMT-4 and not GMT-5 like you're saying. But this fits well into my point, which is that if people are having any sort of difficulty, adding information in an appropiate manner could be a solution.
