I know, this is not going to change anything. Since the memory is still fresh, happened yesterday, thought of documenting it.

Yesterday I didn't get any response to an urgent request "for hours". Complained, got explanations, claims and counter-claims. Lot of excitement. Today I made an entry on the same interface and noticed that the time stamp immediately shifted two hours in to the past (pic).


Oh, yes! I am in CEST, 2 hours past UTC. The tool shows time without a time zone. Since this tool is for a local group, and trained from moodle.org to consider time without time zone as local time, my complaint of "hours" was off by two hours!

Postscript: I wrote to the admins, they reacted with surprise. Got the impression that they are not even aware of this. :-?

@the moderators: Would you kindly split this sub-thread at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=405564#p1639831 and give it the subject title "Request to developers: Please display clock time always with its time zone"?
