Who's Online World Clock


I think it would be nice if the board owner had a option to turn on a "world clock" in the "Who's Online" box. This clock would show both the user name for who is online and the time for that user based on their IP address.

For example... current display:

Who is online, last 15 minutes: Pastor Rick (1 visible, 1 invisible, 0 guests)

world clock option enabled:

Who is online, last 15 minutes: Pastor Rick - 11:47AM (1 visible, 1 invisible, 0 guests)

Re: Who's Online World Clock


That could make the whosonline pretty long for busy boards, but I suppose a title attribute (hover tooltip) could serve the same purpose.

I do wonder about privacy, though. What if some people don't want everyone to know their time zone? I think an option to disable it would be warranted.

Re:


You mean a user misc option? I was thinking the board owner could decide if the option was available. A time zone is a mighty big area so as long as the IP address isn't showing I don't see a privacy concern.

Re: Who's Online World Clock


True, I don't see too many people worrying about whether others know their time zone unless they're up to no good, but there may be other reasons that haven't crossed my mind.

If anyone reading this can think of good reason why people might want to keep their time zone private, please let us know. It would be good to know these things if we ever do enable such a feature.
