How can I change the time I see on this site?
When I check the last seen time on my profile, it's never right. For example, right now, it's 13.30 with me, but on my profile it says last seen on 06:30:49 which is, I suppose, American time. I think this site is used worldwide, I'm in Europe, and do I really need to always calculate the times? It would be nice if we had an option to edit this accordingly, or maybe there is and I know nothing about it? Thanks!

Any world-wide entity (airlines and marine, military, etc) uses UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) which is taken from the Royal observatory in Greenwich, England. Each time zone can then add or subtract the hourly difference for its own time. It may sound a bit convoluted if you are not used to it, but it's really quite simple. Since SD is world-wide, I vote for doing it this way.
And yes, "America Time" sounds wierd, but "Supposibly" is such a refreshing new word that it should be embraced by the vocabulary of all!
Supposibly when you edit your location under you profile, it should fix this. By the way, America has four time zones. There is no such thing as "American Time"
Facebook (to name one) is world-wide, and there you still get to see your time zone in your posts, thank you very much.
I can't believe this issue still hasn't been fixed
Yes, I've checked it too, no use changing the location in my profile...
So there is still no proper answer to this
HI Joe, unfortunately it does not. I get "American Time" too, we just say that, an estimated time.
Sorry, gocika, I checked, it can't be done.
Ok, thanks, I'll try that. By the way, if you were in Europe, maybe there would be American time in your mind, if you know what I mean.
