I've been posting this before, so repeating it is partly to press the matter
and partly for my own entertainment, but anyway

What do we want?

TIMEZONES!!!

When do we want it?

9:58 (+1GMT)!!!

Every interactive website since about 1998 or so has featured the ability to
set the time properly. It might be a good idea to get Bricklink ready for the
21st century, especially since the place is loaded with timestamps. Messages
posted, orders placed, payments made, invoices sent, orders sent, you name it!
Someone pointed out the calculation again but I just can't be bothered to
remember it and it changes anyway. So it would be good if they had actual sensical
timestamps.

Haven't you better things to be doing at 4.00 am?

I'd be disappointed if this wasn't implemented with the new look Bricklink,
so fingers crossed!

I suspect they will be rolling out more features, as time goes on. So, one big
step followed by lots of baby steps.

You are probably right I just felt like pushing it a bit, just to make sure
it's in the pipeline
