Getting a user's timezone
Is there a way to get the timezone for a user?

IP location checking is by no means accurate, so the user should be able to choose if they wish. I would simply use Javascript to give a best guess.invisible wrote:If you had the knowledge and resources you could probably collect their ip, then trace where it is coming from and then run that location against all of the timezones to place them in the correct timezone.
