That said, from a usability point of view, the "Options" page could really use a link to "About me", particularly in the "Locale" and "Mail" sections. The separation of display timezone and date format locale seems really bizarre, and is part of why I didn't find the option; if it were supported, surely the timezone would be set in the user editor accessible as admin, or in the Options section? It never occurred to me to look in About Me. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
