Select your time zone
Universalis doesn't need to know what time it is where you are, but it does need to know the date, and the date depends on the time zone. For example, at 11pm GMT on Wednesday night, half the world is in Wednesday and the other half is in Thursday.
Most of the time there is nothing you need to do. Universalis can work out the date automatically by using a small piece of Javascript in the web page. But there are a couple of cases when you will need to set the time zone explicitly. For example:
- If your browser doesn't have Javascript enabled.
- If your computer's date and time are not correctly set.
- If you are creating a link to Universalis for use in a banner on your web site.
Your current settings say that it is now Fri 6:30 am.
