The site uses Calif Time Zone since that is where the owners live..
You can change the time stamp to your own time zone go to Settings scroll down to TimeZone and change it to your own if you like.. https://mingle2.com/forum/settings |

American times are confusing anyways... If it was based on GMT it'd much easier to understand. Or call it UTC if you can't stand the fact that the 0 line is in Europe
 for I believe UTC is the same as GMT? Pacific time, Mountain time, lord-knows-what time... makes my head spin. I'm at GMT+2. Americans are at GMT -8 through GMT -6. Now ain't that a whole lot easier? |

Or call it UTC if you can't stand the fact that the 0 line is in Europe for I believe UTC is the same as GMT? Ok I Wikied it and this is what I found... Pacific time, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. GMT was formerly used as the international civil time standard, now superseded in that function by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Today GMT is considered equivalent to UTC for UK civil purposes (but this is not formalised) and for navigation is considered equivalent to UT1 (the modern form of mean solar time at 0° longitude); these two meanings can differ by up to 0.9 s. Consequently, the term GMT should not be used for precise purposes.[1] Due to Earth's uneven speed in its elliptical orbit and its axial tilt, noon (12:00:00) GMT is rarely the exact moment the sun crosses the Greenwich meridian and reaches its highest point in the sky there. This event may occur up to 16 minutes before or after noon GMT, a discrepancy calculated by the equation of time. Noon GMT is the annual average (i.e. "mean") moment of this event, which accounts for the word "mean" in "Greenwich Mean Time". time, lord-knows-what time... makes my head spin. I'm at GMT+2. Americans are at GMT -8 through GMT -6. Now ain't that a whole lot easier? Hi Crystal, don't know if it would make things easier. GMT, UTC, Central Standard Time, Eastern S.T., Mountain S.T....they are all a pain. GMT is for UK. With UTC superseded it?? Ok.... What I love about this is, that it shows those idiot flat eathers that we live on a round planet... Otherwise we would be on UTT and DTT... Up thar time Down thar time!!! Heeeee heee. ;^) Ciao! |

I am ever confused when I awake and view messages all over the place regarding time posted. I gave up years ago here on Mingle many things. Seems Robxbox has it nailed. I guess. |

It is indeed a pain. One standard would be a helluva lot easier. Like saying 17 cm is average instead of 6 5/8" or something. Celcius, Fahrenheit, driving on the wrong side of the road (the English), ounce, fluid ounce, gallon, American ounces different yet again I believe? I cannot keep track of all that crap! GMT is used in Europe as well BTW, not just England. |

GMT/UTC is Worldwide standard to STANDARDIZE Where the Sun is located!
So you would prefer Noon for CST = Noon for you and it is dark? Or, do you guys even use "Noon"? Hahahaha! Brits drive on Left Side to enable predominantly right handed population to be able to swing their swords at oncoming opponents. Chariot days or something? Some crud regarding Napoleon or somebody! What a trait to hang onto for your life. I think ounces = ounces everywhere. Now grams....They are standardized in England and that is only place a gram is a GRAM. Oh my! |
