I did post something about this earlier but it got eaten by the database crash.

Anyway, today I installed a mod which automatically detects your time zone and whether daylight savings is in or not. You can find it in your User Control Panel (the cog tab) under Board Preferences right at the bottom. Hit "Guess Timezone" and it will automatically detect the correct time zone for you based on information from your operating system. This is very useful for people who never update their time zone settings when daylight savings come in, or for people who travel.

If you're already in the correct settings, you can still see the magic happen by picking an incorrect time zone from the drop down menu and then hitting the button. It will correct it for you!

And it's mostly exciting because Nate let me loose on the YWS code and I didn't break anything.
