If you create a template that joins the timestamp and the 3 digit code for your timezone (not sure if or what they are), or if you add -5 or GMT-5, then it will lock that timestamp to a specific timezone and adjust accordingly, based on the user’s timezone.

I also have an app that converts local time to GMT time if you wanted to calculate and store all timestamps in a standard universal time.

There’s been a lot of questions for a while about how to get a universal time that can be shared for multiple users across multiple time zones. Most of you will know that any time your get a date/time from one of the glide special values, it will always be the user’s local time. But if you don’t know which time zone they are in, then you have no easy way to convert that date/time into something standard, like Greenwich Mean Time, to…

Also, there is a new plugin that will do this conversion as well. Haven’t played with it yet.
