Countdown displays different length of time depending on time zone
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

on our Miraheze site, there is a countdown set for an event in UTC -5:00, which is the time zone for the wiki. I'm in UTC -8:00, and it's showing me a time remaining that corresponds to 3 hours later than the actual time. Meaning, it is saying the event is at "Thursday at 10 pm" for everyone in every timezone and does not appear to be offsetting the 'time remaining' accordingly. Is there a setting we can change so that it works as expected? I'm using Firefox on Mac.
