I think SMWCentral could use a DHTML clock like this one. Then you could tell what time it is right now without refreshing the page or opening your system clock so you can see what the second is.

Edit: Now that I think about it, the current method of setting your local time zone is quite confusing.

Something just isn't adding up.
I think selecting a timezone from a list would be better (and less confusing).

Yeah... we get that a lot with the timezone thing. The thing is that the website used to be hosted on U.S. server and now it's on a Danish server. For some reason I decided to add the timezone difference everywhere, but I missed a few spots. The server is located in the Central European Timezone, which is UTC+1 or UTC+2 during DST. The server time at the time of writing is 12:41 PM.

As for the DHTML clock, eh. I don't really see why it would be necessary.
