Hi All,
Just curious,
Why, in V2.07 on the Admin>General page do the “Regional Settings” on most installs show as:
“Timezone Name” with a pull down for a long list of locations and times
and on some installs as:
“Server Time” and “Local Time Adjustment”?
Thanks,
Jerry Kornbluth

Hi Jerry,
It's actually based on the version of PHP you have. If you have PHP 5.1+ it will show the timezone pulldown because that version supports timezones with: http://php.net/date-default-timezone-set
Earlier PHP versions don't support timezones so we hand-coded a workaround that lets you put in the offset amount in hours and minutes.
Interestingly, the code in general.php actually decides what to show by checking if that built-in PHP function exists:
Hope that helps! :)
