Allow selectable time zones on sessions page

11 votes

On the sessions page, allow the user to show exams in the local time zone (or maybe a time zone selectable by a drop down).

I'm helping with sessions in Central and Pacific timezones, as well as my own, Mountain. It would be really nice to see the local time on the session list. As the non-CVE I don't have a link to even the registration screen to go look at the timezone listed there. Day of the week would be nice too, in fact I'd rather see the year in the date block replaced with the day.

It would also be nice to add GMT (or UTC) to the date and time displayed next to the sessions. We are giving exams across multiple time zones and this has been confusing to the Applicants and VEs. So, in addition to displaying the time zone, show the creator and users the time in UTC so there's no confusion. If they don't know what UTC means, they can always Google their local time in terms of UTC and won't have to do any mental match to figure out what time that is in their time zone.

Now that we have more sessions on HamStudy, the time and zone are more important when determining when a session is. When planning a session I often view HamStudy for conflicts with other sessions and also to make sure that there is a need for yet another session.
