> We have campuses in multiple timezones, but all using the same 
> instance of Sakai.  People not in the server's default timezone are 
> having issues when putting time restrictions (opening and locking) on 
> Forums.  The tool uses the user-selected timezone as the "current 
> time" when selecting the time for release restrictions, but it's still 
> using the server's default time for actually releasing that content.
>
> For instance, for users set to Pacific time, faculty will select to 
> lock and item at 3pm.  The item will say that it will be locked at 3pm 
> to students also on Pacific time, but it will actual lock at 12pm 
> Pacific (3pm Eastern, the server's default).  This is causing some 
> confusion with faculty and panic for the students.
>
> We don't have this problem with time-restricted materials in other 
> tools (Announcements, Resources, Assignments, jForums), but aren't 
> sure if this is a setting we can fix on our side or a bug in Forums.  
> Any suggestions?
>
> Thanks!
