Timezones not updating in the tracker calender

Even though i have put in my local timezone (GMT+1) in my profile, the calendar in my tracker is still showing the US-time for airing. Meaning shows that airs on a tuesday US-time, but wednesday my time, shows up in the tuesday column. This is not a major problem, i'm able to do the conversion myself, but i do seem to remember that before the site went down and came back, i did not have to. If a show aired at 8PM Tuesday on the east coast, it would show up as 02 AM on Wednesday in my calendar. So why is it not doing that now, when you have the option to select your timezone in your profile?

Hi Tobias, I have a quick question for you as a user.

We have the ability to just take the airtimes and add or subtract x-amount of hours so that the shows are much closer to what you would expect BUT there are some shows (like The Simpsons) that might air at 8pm in the US Eastern Time Zone and then air at 8pm in the US Pacific time zone.

Our initial method of just adding or subtracting from the US Eastern Time Zone would mean that The Simpsons would display as airing at 5pm on the West Coast of the States. We know this isn't exactly correct, but is this what the old functionality was like? Do you recall?

Thanks!

We're still working on getting everybody's individual timezone wired up to the tracker and calendar.

We kept the option in the user account interface just so we could carry over users' existing timezone data when we switched over to the new system.

Thanks.
