Hello. found under User CP / Advanced Options where you can make a time adjustment, but it seems one needs to know what the Forum's time period is in order for any adjustment I make to be meaningful.

Soooo, questions are: (1) is the Forum on Hawaii time? (2) If so, how many hours is that west of PST (California) and (3) If so, how many hours is Hawaii time from GMT?

I'm hoping with these answers I will be able to figure out a way to have the forum's comments match up with East Coast market operating hours. If there is a more simplified way or answer to guide / help me in this quest that someone can offer, I would greatly appreciate the help.

WB,

Seems like most forum dwellers usually like to have their time zone setting set to their own local time. I'm on US Central, which is currently GMT -5, which would make US Eastern GMT -4. I just remember that markets close at 4:00 Eastern.

HTH!

OK figured it out. So here is how time adjustment work. Forget about the questions I asked about Hawaii time, etc.

(1) When you log on to the Forum, it tells you what time you did so.
(2) Simply check what time your computer or watch or phone is telling you it currently is in your time zone upon logging in. This will tell you the time differential between where you live and the Forum.
(3) Simply add the time differential between the Forum's time and your local time (in my case it was 3 hours for living in California) and the difference in time between wherever you live and the East Coast (another 3 hours in my case) and make the total hour adjustment in the time frame window.

Now all the comments made by everyone on the Forum show up in relationship to East Coast time which for me at least helps allow for a better "real-time" visualization of what I'm looking at via charts, etc.

Final Edit:

And now the real short answer: if you want east coast time - simply click on GMT - 4 Duh!

(and thanks Gof1sh for helping me see how simple it really is / was)
