I know devs are working in other stuff. I just want to put the idea out there.

Basically, when someone writes a time, it turns into the correct time for the reader. I think it should be:

![](HH:MM) or [HH:MM]

I don’t think it should “correct” plain text time because it may not supposed to be a time.

I like it but I’m not sure. ±1 for now, might change this later. Would be nice in game too.

Couldn’t the site, on post creation, just get the pc time and compare it to UTC, to find the offset then turn it into UTC. Then when a reader opens the thread turn it into the correct time? There probably a better way to do it, though

Fair enough. This was not requested for that thread, but gave me the idea to create it. I thought it would be useful for events, and blames as it would give a better idea when it happened.
