TimeZone - Upgrades

Hi there :)
For the last few weeks there have been complaints of blogs not
showing in the Magazine and Magazine Categories; after some
investigation it was found that the problem was related to the
way in which the system was handling TimeZone information.
After the investigation, some time was spent fixing the timezone system to allow for greater control by network owners and by the network users themselves.
The Upgrades are as follows
- Network Owners can set the default timezone for their networks in http://my.socialgo.com: This will be the default timezone that the user is given should the have an invalid country selection - Otherwise the Country selected defines the Timezone.
- When a New User signs up; the system now approximates the timezone based on the country selected. (The US like Australia and Russia are all fairly large *cough*, so New York is the default TZ in the states and the same for the larger continents as defined by the ISO2 standards)
- Blogs Publish Date; will now default to the actual time in your personally selected Timezone.
-
The User is able
to select their personal TimeZone from their "My Location"
section, this then directly affects what they can and cant see
in the magazine. Unfortunately this was
causing too much confusion and potential for confusion; and
thus was removed. By default, the network now uses the TimeZone
that is defined by the owner in the admin
system.
If you have any questions; please feel free to post them in the forum here at owners or on http://getsatisfaction.com/socialgo. and rather not PM me, that way we can deal with your questions in the open and thereby helping other Network Owners.
