Icon to let others know your daytime

    What about some sort of icon or indicator that shows up near the posters avatar to indicate the timezone.

    The reason I suggest this is that we are posting from all over the world and sometimes if you are posting or PMing another member they may not be able to reply as they have gone to sleep and may not reply for another 8 hours.

    A little icon could indicate the daytime staus ie 7am - 12pm could show an awake indicator whilst 12PM-7am could show an asleep indicator.

    Just something to indicate the user in this timezone is probably asleep so will not be able to reply.

    i think this would be good, sometimes its difficult for me to communicate with fellow members due to timezones differences, and it makes it worse because i dont know their timezone either.

    got my vote :)

    Uhm, just look at their location. If someone wants you to know where they are, they already do.

    Not everyone states there location, for example what timezone is dotalex:rolleyes:

    A lot of people do not know what timezones are associated with different locations around the world.

    devin, Im more a sloth than a koala:D

    Exactly most people dont have their location, and if they do, I will have to work out the timezone of their country, then the difference between mine, considering all the members it would take around 2 hours per day.

    With locations like 'http://www.dotalex.com', I find it very difficult to know the exact timezone :D

    I too think it will be a very good option, please shawn add it if you can.

    If someone doesn't want to tell you their location, it's up to them.

    The tool is useful if you know the location of the person. Even then it is difficult to check the position.

    This could be useful, but I can live without this feature.
