I'm not sure where a suitable place to discuss general things that aren't specific to a particular article might be, so I'll just write something here for now. I just wanted to say that I plan to use the extra material released for the CIC's birthday to upload some nicer images from WC3, if they happen to be better quality than the digital PC video (still in the process of downloading, servers are understandably burdened immediately after the party). Hopefully, they're not too blurry or fuzzy or heavily compressed. I just wanted to let everyone know in case someone else thought to do the same, to avoid duplication of effort. - Wedge
Question About Time-Stamps
Do you know who controls the formatting of time-stamps in signatures? Did it change with the recent upgrade? The reason I ask is that the time-zone seems to have changed from UTC as used previously to United States Central Time + Daylight Savings. This really is uncomfortable to work for anyone outside the United States and will even change when moving between Standard and Summer Times. There are proposals to make this a user parameter, but they aren't implemented yet and may never be. Would it be possible to revert to the UTC time-zone, please, in the interests of international co-operation and standardisation? - Wedge
