Update your PROFILE (Email/Avatar/Timezone)

[Whill]

1. Email address – Make sure you have a working valid email address. This is vital for recovering access to the Pit if you forget your password.

2. Avatar – Choose an avatar. If you do not, one will be chosen for you.

3. Timezone – If you care about posts having an accurate timestamp based on your location when you are logged in, then select a Timezone.


I have the Pit default to my timezone (Eastern USA), meaning that is the timezone seen when you are not logged in, and when you are logged in if you don't update the timezone setting in your profile. But the timezone setting in your profile can be used so that when you are logged in, the site shows your own timezone.

Unfortunately the website's daylight saving time setting has never worked since before I became an admin. So I manually update the Pit's default time and my own profile's timezone twice a year. Now that daylight saving time has ended, the Pit defaults to Eastern Standard Time: GMT –5 Hours.

For those in my timezone in places that have also daylight saving time, you never have to update your timezone setting. For those elsewhere in the continental US, Central Standard Time is GMT –6 Hours, Mountain Standard Time is GMT –7 Hours, and Pacific Standard Time GMT –8 Hours. (For other places in the world, see the link below.) When daylight saving time returns, add one hour (–5 becomes –4, –6 becomes –5, etc.). Then when it ends we subtract the hour and the vicious cycle continues.

[RANT]Daylight saving time is stupid and we should be able to define our own time zone, so we need to just make daylight saving time permanent. It gets dark too damn early now.[/END RANT]
