    For the benefit of those who do not know much about Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), let me briefly explain it. This is a world wide recognized neutral time zone from which all other time zones are derived from. The time is kept in a town called Greenwich in the UK hence the alternative title Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Because of Day light saving in Greenwich itself, the local time there will alter from UTC + or - at the time of commencement or cessation of Day Light Saving. The time in UTC DOES NOT change since it is the neutral time zone. For example, Brisbane, Australia is +10 ahead of UTC. (We do not have DST either). If somebody states UTC time, I just take away 10 hours from it to derive at my local time. However, since I have no idea of the time difference from CST, I have to google it every time and first convert it to UTC than convert it again to derive at my local time. (Yes, I know there are programs that will convert it a lot easier but it will still take time to look up).

    This is a piece of piss to a trained soldier or a piece of train to a pissed soldier...

    No no - I'm right. I just stated it wrong. Here's what I mean:

    Chat Start = 19:00 Mondays, Central Time Zone. Year round.
    Chat Start = UTC-5 Mondays, During US daylight savings time (summerish), UTC-6 Mondays, in months without daylight savings (winterish)

    So, stating the time that chat starts in terms of UTC changes depending on the time of year 00:00 UTC Tuesdays during daylight savings, and 01:00 during non-daylight savings.

    Does that make sense? And how do I state that simply?

    EDIT: Clearly I'm over complicating this - 01:00 Tuesdays UTC. If people are an hour late, we'll still be there. The majority of people are almost always in there anyway...

    EDIT2: Article on front page edited.

    The problem was the name how can I be somethingh else than Duke of Buckingham DoB or Duke. I have to think about a name because Ricardo Ferreira is already taken. I followed the email instructions. Options are accepted.

    Sad Duke

    Try underscores in key places (I don't think spaces are allowed).
