Problem with my profile
When trying to personalise my profile, and set the time zone that I'm in, scratch won't change it; it'll just say with the default eastern timezone. Is this a glitch in the website, and if so can I notify the scratch team about it in any way?

Re: Problem with my profile
Are you trying to personalize your forum profile? If so, that glitch has been around for a long time and is likely not to be fixed - you'll have to stick with it.

Well, they all have the same forum setting (GMT -5 or Scratch Time). Unfortunately, there is no way to change this yet... And I don't dislike it, to be honest - it's nice to have a communal time. Though I'd like to hear what somebody whose time zone is not GMT -5 has to say.

I like it. Though I really usually only look at the time on my own clock, I really don't care. Oh, and it's an hour off.

Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

Re: Problem with my profile
I get confused when it's daylight savings time in one time zone, but not the other xD I live in England, therefore, I go by GMT... it's usually either 4 or 5 hours difference - five is more common, but I remember when DST started in Scratch Time... I was confuuused 
(normally I add five hours to get what time it was posted in GMT... But I kept coming up with times that were an hour after I was checking xD)

My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Or they could just remove the option altogether...
