Hey everyone!

 

Today anonymous sent me a message. The time shows 2:03 PM. But I live in Virginia, where it was 5:03 PM. I wish we could set time zones so that we can get the correct time.

 

Thanks,

Kam

The time zone your PM's show is controlled by the time zone set in your profile, see: My Settings - Microsoft Tech Community

 

The default is Pacific Time because that is where the community is currently hosted. Maybe in a future release we should direct people to choose their time zone on first sign in or possibly as part of the onboarding workflow.

Cool,

 

I just tested you sending me a PM and me replying.

 

The times in your profile were EST and the times in my Profile were PST, which is what I expected. Are you seeing something different?

@Allen I see the same...

@Allen, sure.
