Re: Forum time in GMT
I disagree with LittleRock as GMT is the Universal way to indicate times when lots of Countries are involved, like in this case. Just work out what is your own time in relation to GMT and add it up or subtract it from GMT. In Australia we have sometimes 5 time zones, other times 3 depending on the Daylight savings. That is really confusing special in the border of the two States of Queensland and New South Wales. Your case is basically everybody's case.
My apologies if anyone disagrees. Just my comment though.

Re: Forum time in GMT
Most forums (fora?) have the option for users to choose which time zone to display. This would be the ideal solution.
Having said that, I can see that adding such a feature might be considered a lot of work for little benefit, so I wouldn't expect to see it any time soon.

GMT is sufficient IMO.

oops, I mixed the forum with the counter time.
holland25 is correct. One can set the forum time individually.
