There is a new change coming up to make the date/time's displayed on the website timezone aware for not logged in users. I would be glad if you can test this change. Testing is made as easy as it could be:

  • just visit the page https://alpha.widelands.org/forum/post/423/ (registering and logging in is not required)
  • check the line above the post which starts with "Postet at:"
  • find your timezone in the table of the post and compare the date (displayed in "Postet at:") with the time and date shown in the table. There might be differences with the formatting but the date and time values should match the ones displayed in "Postet at:"

Please report back in this topic if the values match or not.

Just to mention it: This works only if javascript is enabled in your browser. If you have javascript disabled, the date of "Postet at: "should have "UTC+2" appended.

Thank you very much!
