didn't want to take the time to pull a clock graphic but replace the text with a clock
To give people control, have a checkbox next to where the set their timezone, "Show your local time / timezone on your profile". That way people can op-in if they want to.With this there would be no privacy concerns. Telling your location isn't a privacy concern but if the user chooses to display this then they are not too concerned with any privacy.
+1 Like, I may look into doing this as an add-on if they don't implement when xF goes gold.
It should be based off location. Don't want people to know your timezone? Don't put your location. As I see it it's much more personal to put your location like a city rather than a timezone.
That way it would just look at the location and if it matches somewhere, it'll automatically display the user's local time.
There is no reliable way to derive your timezone/local time from a free-form location field. If my location is Paris, how can you tell if I'm in France, Canada, the US, etc? The user's local time should be based off their already existing timezone setting, perhaps with an op-in checkbox to display your local time on your profile.It should be based off location.
