1. Nikola,
Hello,
this was a suggestion I've had in mind for quite a while, but I am also not particularly sure about the best way to implement it. Nevertheless, I think the idea has potential, so I decided to give it a try.
Often, on the forum, when organizing a tournament, we have to deal with the different timezones, and potentially risk giving the incorrect time (especially when daylight saving time changes occur or don't occur depending on the area).
However, the Playroom already lets each user configure their timezone. In the past, it was said that the amount of users who utilize this feature isn't very large, but I'm thinking that creating a useful reason to configure your timezone might actually be a way to change that.
On the forum, there could be a way when creating a topic to add an event. The event can have a title, a description, and a date and time. This last possibility is particularly interesting, because the way I ideally imagined it is that I would enter my date and time according to the timezone I have configured, and then, when this event is displayed for other users, the time is converted to their timezone automatically.
Because of the point raised above, there could be a small disclaimer below the time displayed to mention that you should configure your timezone in the account settings, linking to the appropriate page.
This could also be taken a step further, allowing you to subscribe to that event and be notified via the client when it is about to start, as well as allowing the event creator to see a list of subscribers, but even just the first part of the suggestion would already be quite helpful.
I would like to hear your thoughts/ideas on whether this seems useful or if there are any additional items you would like to add.
Thanks.
