Some small site updates tonight

By - | Views: 8,236
Just to let you know about a minor update I did tonight: You can now pick your timezone in the User Control Panel.

It currently only affects the livestream calendar. So now it will list the time in your locally set time, then the UTC time in brackets, in addition to the countdown timer.

When submitting a livestream (you can do that, submit yours any time!) it will auto-convert the time you pick into UTC for our database. Less hassle for anyone submitting to have to find whatever time they would be streaming in UTC.

Will roll-out the localization to anywhere else appropriate as time goes on. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Great feature. Any chance you can alphabetise the list grouped by time zone so it's easier to find the correct city?

Done. It was sorted by the UTC offset, but I agree sorting by name is better for normal people to find where they are :)

Dagnabbit, I was about to suggest it get sorted by UTC difference, like most websites do. Keep it like it is, I guess, but place the UTC value after the location name?

Good idea, done. So you can now type a letter to get somewhere in the list :)

I was thinking having all the timezones grouped, but then alphabetise within each group, so all +2 zones appear after the +1 zones but within the +2 zones Africa appears before Europe and within the Africa group, Harare appears before Johannesburg. Hope that makes sense.
