Hi fellas,<P>I was wondering if we could get some type of clock that runs on top of the web site saying what time it currently is according to what time it is where ever the time for this forum is set. <P>Just that sometimes I like to know how long ago someone replied and stuff and its a bit hard.<P>thanks

Well... it really isn't that hard. The Forum time is set to GMT. (So the international 0 time.) From there on, all you need to know is what time-zone you live in. (Something everybody should know) Since it's not that easy to find out in which timezone Australia is (I had to look for it myself, looks like you folks use half hour time zones as well) I found this link for you: <A HREF="http://www.whatsthenumber.com/oz/know/time-zones.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.whatsthenumber.com/oz/know/time-zones.htm</A> <BR>Once you figured out in which time-zone you live (don't forget daylights saving time) you can simply add the amount of numbers to the forum time and voila, you know when the post was made.<BR>(Since most Forums on the internet at least list at what time zone they operate this is a universally functioning solution)
