Hi –

Is it possible to add a new timezone to the list of options that comes up when a user changes their local timezone?  I had a user request that I add Oklahoma, and I have no idea if this is possible.

Thanks!
Samantha

Afraid not. The list is supplied by the php people for use in websites and is determined by them. The rule of thumb – and this really does apply to all timezone options I personally have ever seen – is to select a city in the same timezone as yours. This way I have to select ‘London’ even though I live quite a way from it.

Okay, that’s what I figured.  Thought I’d ask anyways, just in case.
