Event list and detail timezone issues about frisbee

[lucasxas]

As a User, why I would want to see the event in the local time?

And I think G+ only shows the event in the user's timezone?

I am sure that G+ was showing both times in the past.

I checked now. It does not show user's timezone. It always shows the time in event's timezone. And it writes the timezone as well as an information (like "Eastern European Time")

On firefly we show both timezones

On firefly it looks like this:

Also we are showing local time on the list on firefly. I think it should be clear on everywhere.

Hello, I'm interested on getting started into this project, but i don't quite get what the decision on how to implement this change is.
Is it adding a local time to the event description or adding the timezone on the card or adding both times to the description of the event?

Hmmm, at the end we should have the same date in both places. It is confusing when they are different.
We should look into meetup.com, facebook and google+ events to see how they do it.
Can you do that? You can find an event far away from your country and see what does they show.

Thanks

Hey, I looked for events in different parts of the world to see if there was a different setting on the times they were setting their events on. I found that MeetUp and Facebook use only the local time of the event, they don't provide the info in the timezone in which the event is been looked for.
I think a good solution (in order to achieve better clarity for the user) is to only put the time of the event in the event's timezone with a clarification of the timezone, for example:

Event Time: 10:00 PM EST

Please let me know if this is what you are looking for @tasomaniac :)
Cheers,

Thanks for investigating this @Mathreyu
I think it is great and exactly what I was looking for.

I think it really makes sense. Showing 2 times (event local/user local time) also may confuse the user. I think showing only 1 makes sense and it should be the event's time.
