Documentation of Timezone Offsets

Link Thread Closed
So I had this idea of documenting all the correct timezone offsets for peoples profiles.

Any corrections, updates, etc greatly appreciated.

List of correctly verified timezone offsets

GMT-12 (-6)
No countries

GMT-11 (-5)
Midway Islands, Samoa: Western Samoa & American Samoa

GMT-10 (-4)
Cook Islands, Tahiti (French Polynesia)

GMT-9 (-3)
No countries

GMT-8 (-2)
Pitcairn Islands

GMT-7 (-1)
Arizona

GMT-6 (0)
Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua

GMT-5 (1)
Cayman Islands, Colombia, Ecuador, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Peru

GMT-4 (2)
Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Barbados, Bonaire, Bolivia, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia , Trinidad and Tobago, Virgin Islands: British Virgin Islands & US Virgin Islands

GMT-3 (3)
Argentina, Surinam

GMT-2 (4)
South Georgia & The South Sandwich Islands

GMT-1 (5)
Cape Verde Islands

GMT (6)
United Kingdom

GMT+9 (15)
East Timor, Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, West & Central Kalimantan only), Japan, Korea (North) (Peoples Democratic Republic of Korea), Korea (South) (Republic of Korea), Palau

GMT+10 (16)

GMT+11 (17)
Solomon Islands

GMT+12 (18)
Fiji

GMT+13 (19)
Western Samoa will switch to GMT+13 on 31 December 2011

These offsets are in corrispondance with server time which was GMT-6.
More like server is in GMT+1...

But, previous server was in GMT-6 timezone. To not break stuff, it still intentionally uses old server timezone.

But it doesn't make sense... Why not just use GMT? I live in this same timezone as server, but I have to type "7"...

GMT-12 (-6)
GMT-11 (-5)
GMT-10 (-4)
GMT-9 (-3)
GMT-8 (-2)
GMT-7 (-1)
GMT-6 (0)
GMT-5 (1)
GMT-4 (2)
GMT-3 (3)
GMT-2 (4)
GMT-1 (5)
GMT (6)
GMT+1 (7)
GMT+2 (8)
GMT+3 (9)
GMT+4 (10)
GMT+5 (11)
GMT+6 (12)
GMT+7 (13)
GMT+8 (14)
GMT+9 (15)
GMT+10 (16)
GMT+11 (17)
GMT+12 (18)
I would eventually also like to get all the proper timezone abreviations in or a list of places which use these timezones incase people are unsure. I'll start work on it as soon as I can.

You have Western Australia down, but no other part of Australia. Also you're missing New Zealand but who the hell cares about them.

Also you might want to mention something about DST. Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time is currently in effect so I've got my timezone offset on 17, rather than 16. And for the other half of the year, when the Northern Hemisphere is having their DST, I'd have my timezone offset set to 15, rather than 16.

So basically the values you given are essentially never (well, they are for about two weeks a year) correct, unless the country/state you live in doesn't believe in DST. Why not just let people figure out how to add/subtract for themselves?
May we meet again outside the battlefield.
>Ctrl F "germany"
>no result
>Ctrl F "europe"
>no result
>Ctrl F "netherlands", "denmark", "france"
>no results

Yeah, your list is lacking heavily, it would be easier to google a site that gives you your offset or to do the math yourself.
Your layout has been removed.
You can basically just add 6 to your GMT offset and it'll work.

Quite odd seeing as I got the list of countries off of here which is supposedly a full documentation of countries.

Also I'll get to ammending any errors as soon as possible.

It helps greatly. I'll get round to documenting the rest of Europe as soon as possible. Either in a few hours or tomorrow afternoon (odds are the latter).

GMT-3.5: Newfoundland

Your list is obviously missing the most important timezone. However since I am probably the only one who will ever need to use this timezone, it isn't completely necessary.
It'll probably help if you listed a couple more US states (since all you have listed is Arizona, which noone cares about (no offense Snowshoe))

I live in GMT+10 and mine is 17.

I'm assuming this relates to what Forty2 said.

Fermin, this thread is no longer relevant since Edit Profile has a link to autodetect your timezone, so there really was no need to bump a 9 year old thread with the time of your current location. Plus this kind of documentation exists on the internet if you google it anyway.

so... closing this.
