[James Moran]

Sorry Bram, can you remove my name. Unexpected commitments.

 

[Stelios]

Well i am +1GMT and i planned that starts in 19:00 (booking) by my local time but yet nothing

Where are you from ?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Well i am +1GMT and i planned that starts in 19:00 (booking) by my local time but yet nothing

You arent on GMT 1

 

[Theo van den Brink]

In please!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

The booking should start in an hour Felice, GMT is 2 hours ahead of most central european countries at the moment. Check your timezone.

Also not true.

I think its time to make a frontpage article to avoid the confusion. Will do tomorrow.

Most european countries are on GMT +2 aka CET

 

[Dux]

Ogh ... misunderstood with +1 UTC -_-

 

[Kevin Leu]

Of course GMT is 2h behind most European countries, thats what I wanted to say. Sorry :x

It's also CEST right now and not CET

edit: UTC ist the same as GMT does not go to summer time, so it's UTC +2 right now too for central Europeans.

If you ever get confused by timezones, this is by far the best website: http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

You can add 3 different timezones and compare time, then you're able to save it and send the link!

Edit:
For example: http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?qm=1&lid=0,12&h=0&date=2014-5-12&sln=18-19

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Please lets stop confusing each other. We use GMT for a reason

Booking starts in 21 minutes from now.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

We have room for four more drivers. Sign up before the booking starts please as we'll close the sign up at that time and post the groups.

Also make sure to use your real names IN game and on Teamspeak as well so we know who you are.

If you are still using a nickname in game. Go to options -> profile and fill the first and last name you are using on the forums

Maybe include a view for the most common timezones in the first post from that website I posted, like I did in the example?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Well people only need to look up their correct time twice per year. If they can't remember stick a post it to the monitor.

"IMPORTANT: I AM ON GMT + X"

Or click here

 

[Jörg Beutner]

That's true, but seems like people always get confused at timezones, no matter what time of year it is.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

That's true, but seems like people always get confused at timezones, no matter what time of year it is.

Even if we display a GMT clock on the forums and site you'll still get the same questions.

But technically speaking you only need to find out twice a year. Or we should all move to Iceland where they have GMT all year round.

Quite chilly though

 

[Jörg Beutner]

Even if we display a GMT clock on the forums and site you'll still get the same questions.

You could make it like this:
"Booking starts at 18:00GMT and lasts for 60min! (Click here to check your timezone!)"

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Been there done that, results in the same questions We just have to live with it I guess.
