#2015 Server Time always in Recent Changes Block

[jess harpur]

Version 4.1.4

While the date/time in the GEDCOM Welcome block correctly reflects my local time after I log in, the dates/times shown in the Recent Changes block show the server time (even after login).

Greg Roach said: <This is a known issue. The gedcom format only allows us to record a date/time - not a timezone. Thus all changes are recorded in the server's timezone.

It should be possible to convert the displayed values to each visitors time zone, but the logic is complicated by the fact that we deal with dates and times separately (e.g. we use our own date handling to enable support for hebrew/arabic dates, but the native PHP code for times).

There *may* be a bug report open for this. If there isn't, you might like to raise one.>

I couldn't find one so here it is.
