User talk:Jedaz/Sandbox/Sig

Hey Jedaz, how come the date in your sig shows up as different to mine? This one shows up for me as an hour before mine, which was posted minutes before yours was. Yours is showing up as GMT, while mine is BST... wah? -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 13:29, 22 April 2007 (BST)

Heh, well BST is acutaly GMT +1. So since (for whatever reason, probably due to PHP) the wiki parsers CURRENTTIME, CURRENTMONTHNAME and CURRENTYEAR as GMT time, not BST, the time in my signature is going to be one hour behind everyone elses. Using those three time variables is the only way that I can get the colour and super-text for the time to occur in my signature. I added the GMT section myself so people knew that it was a different time zone. =P - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 12:42, 22 April 2007 (GMT)}

Blah, everything on this damn wiki shows up in different timezones eh! Grrrr, I've never bothered to work out how to convert the times from the page histories over to BST. Shouldn't they all be the same? -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 13:50, 22 April 2007 (BST)

Heh, yeah tell me about it. Well mines the same as in recent changes and the histories. All you have to do is just add an hour to the history time and you've got the standard sig time (aka BST). Not too hard when you think about it eh? But still, some consistency would be nice... - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 12:57, 22 April 2007 (GMT)}

The histories one must be set in preferences, 'cause mine shows your last post as being 22:57 (my local time) -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 14:00, 22 April 2007 (BST)

Must be. Well then that would be a pain in the bum to figgure out the BST times of peoples posts then. (Although it's 15 hours to add, or subtract 9, to the times on the histories for you to get to BST???) Are you another Aussie? Because your time zones right to be living in Vic, NSW, or QLD. Then again you could be living in one of the many countries that are above us Aussies =P - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 13:11, 22 April 2007 (GMT)}

Yep, yet another Aussie :) I guess I should just go into preferences and select BST, simple, eh! -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 14:19, 22 April 2007 (BST)

Heh, probably. Theres actually quite a few Aussies on the wiki (you can tell because we spell colour and honour the correct way =P) - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 13:23, 22 April 2007 (GMT)}

And we categorise things too :) -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 14:41, 22 April 2007 (BST)

Would your sig time still work if you were to use ~~<includeonly>~</includeonly>~~ instead of {{CURRENTTIME}}, Jedaz? That should fix the time difference, eh? -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 01:58, 25 April 2007 (BST)

Yeah, it should. However I won't get the slight colour variation between the time, day, month, and year. It's really bugging you isn't it? =P - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 13:48, 25 April 2007 (GMT)}

Is there a colour variation? :P -- boxy ^{T L ZS Nuts2U DA} 02:32, 26 April 2007 (BST)

Heh, yep, but it's so slight between each one that you don't notice it much unless you look at it properly. Look at the time and then look at the year, you can see the difference. Although I could make it more noticeable =P - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD GIS S! 05:41, 26 April 2007 (GMT)}

Should I include SR in my sig as well? yours is getting quite long...--Vista +1 09:11, 8 May 2007 (BST)

Heh, well if you want to include it, it'll add more competition. Anyway my signature isn't any longer then it was before I edited it. I was quite surprised to be honest. - Jedaz^{ΣT MC ΞD CT SR 08:27, 8 May 2007 (GMT)}
