as a new member i find that i have to ask my opponents abroad what their time is so i'm not waiting for their next move when they've turned in for the night. it wolud help me, at least, if there was a clock showing the different time zones of the world.

Trouble is not everyone is where their flag says they are, nor are they necessarily keeping normal hours, night shift workers etc...
I am on windows and if i double click the clock in the task bar it reveals a time zone tab...

I've made my moves as early as 5:00 am, and I've been up as late as 3:00 am still playing. In any case, this is a correspondence site. Moves should be expected once or twice per week. What difference would it make what time a player is online?
