I say time zones don't count. When you are logged into the WUG machine, you care what time IT thinks it is. You'll look at ITS log and ITS timestamps.

I wrote a javascript to pop up a message if you were looking at a device that wasn't monitored due to the time / day of the week that you can program it not to monitor.
It was easy to test the time / day of the week OF THE BROWSER. That doesn't count. It's what WUG's time is that counts. The javascripts had to read the WUG clock and compare it to the time / day of the week I had set for it not to monitor. Fun stuff.


And speaking of time format. WILL THE NEXT VERSION HAVE SLASHES and COLONS in the logfile timestamps. Please. Pretty Please.

Using the local system date format is definitely an option. However, it does not take account of the possibility that one is maintaining a server in (say) the UK and having users based in (say) Denmark. OK, one could cater for that... but what about when one has users in UK *and* Denmark? They each have their own display requirements. And of course, there's also the issue of conveying timezone info... the user in Denmark is in a different timezone to the user in the UK. A timestamp like "08:00" is not the same thing for both users, unless timezone differences are taken into account.

How about just using the local system date format?

One little feature I would like to see is the ability to change the Date Time appearance on the Web pages from MM\DD\YY to DD\MM\YY or whatever is suitable for each location.
