Suggestion for auctions (in terms of timezones)
I hope I'm in the right board for this, I'd like to make a suggestion for the auctions.
I've noticed that there is a big misunderstanding in terms of timezones, regularly. Most people add something like "8PM DLR time", or "UK time", but many people get confused by the timezones as they don't really know the hour difference. I was thinking about adding countdowns or time converters to the auctions? I used to host games on LiveJournal and I would always add a deadline + a countdown with this site: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/create
The site has been very useful to me, it allows me to realise when the auction actually ends. I've missed out on a lot of auctions because I simply get confused with all the timezones, especially if someone just says "DLR time" because I don't even know in what timezone DLR is. On the site you can give the countdown clock a name, and you have to choose the date and time (in your timezone) at which your auction ends.
Just an idea though, I'm thinking out loud here. Also a great opportunity to just link the site here, if that's allowed. So people can create their own countdowns if they want to follow an auction.
