Since you asked (It would not have occurred to me otherwise.) - here are some suggested changes to the FAQ's: ################################################## OLD FAQ 2. How do I change my time zone? By default, time is set to Greenwich Mean Time. Unless you live there, your time of days will be wrong.

Once you set your time zone, then everything will be displayed correctly. Here's how to do it: 1. Click on Options (upper right hand corner). 2. Click on Locale Settings 3. Change "Time offset" to your time zone ################################################## NEW FAQ 2. How do I change my time zone? By default, time is set to Greenwich Mean Time.
