What time is it?
|
|
Is it possible to have a clock/ timekeeper on the site, or the time a message was posted, as I �ve seen in other forums?
It would be good to know how long ago a message was posted so things like �I �ll be back in 2 hours � will have more meaning: 2 hours from when? |

Hi Apodo
Sorry if I mispelled words, at this time I see very badly.
I wrote, a few hours ago, that I would be back in 2 ( 3 , didn �t check ) houts. Don �t know if you are referring tothis post of mine.
I think we all have to know some Geography, if you post, you have a flag. If your flag is the one of the country whrere you live, I can calculate your time. If youe are living in "back of the world" and habe a Portuguuesse flag, �ll undersatnad that you are in my time zone.
This problem has already been raised here, some ofus have a flag of the country where we were born, but ar e living somewhere arouns . it �s hard to know.
I AM portugurese, living in this "Banana country# with Banana politicians",I would be better somewhere else, I would be better in Brazil, a country plenty of friendship and love, but, I have m fakily here, they won �t move, so, her eI STay .
I know, Apodo, we are many, and when I sleep, you are aworking, I know I get uo when you go to sleep, I know this world is finally stepping ahead to be a global village.
So, two or 3 hours in a planet village is not something that important.
I have already needed some support here, and people from the other side og the planet stayed awke to help me, no matter whar their clock said.
I will do the same, whenever possible and necesssry
Any improvemenyts in this site will be welcome, thoughtI think It �s a little bit difficult to demand more upon Victor.
Have anice day ( is it day, inyout part of the world ?. mine is past one am )

Hi Linda,
(Though hopefully you �re in bed by now! I �m about to have lunch. )
I don �t have a problem with different times round the world, but if I leave the computer for a few hours and then return, or when I first look at my PC in the morning, I don �t know how old the posts are. And yes, I did use your post as an example, but I didn �t mean it in any critical way. I just thought it would be good to know if the posts are 5 seconds or 5 hours old.
Cheers,
Marion |
