If you look at the quote block above, the top quote marker shows:

QUOTE(DiamondBlue @ September 28, 2005, 6:35 AM)

and if your viewing this in the eastern time zone that's the time you'll see on the first post.

But if you're in a different time zone you'll see my first post in your time zone but my quote will still show my time.

So...is it possible for the board to handle quote times in a more dynamic manner, adjusting them just like the time of a post is adjusted?

If not, is it possible to put the timezone in the quote text?:

QUOTE(DiamondBlue @ September 28, 2005, 6:35 AM EST)

I've noticed this previously but just saw it again when I was searching for a post quoted by someone else and the times didn't match up.

I have never noticed that, but then again, I have my times set to the board time (as the 7 hour difference really confuses me!!!(

I keep it set to the specific time zone I am in, which happens to be the same as the board but thats irrelevant.
Go to this link and make check how yours is set.

Scott, it has nothing to do with the settings for one person, just if two people have different settings.

Again, I see your post as 12:27PM, while for you, you see 11:27AM. But in my quote of your post we both see 12:27 PM. If it isn't dynamic it should show a time zone.
