Topic Timer Enhancements

功能

Hi,

When setting a topic timer, there are a few enhancements that I believe would make it even better:

58%20PM

  1. When selecting a custom time, to have a popup window that makes it easy to select a time, in a process parallel to picking the date on the calendar.
  2. After selecting the time, for that to appear in the notification: “This topic will be published to [category] in 4 days at 9am.”
  3. For the notification to also specify the time zone. “9am Eastern Standard Time”

Thank you for your consideration.

Why? This is local to your time zone, so the time entered is always “correct” from your perspective.

Hi, fair question.

For the first time I did it, the time itself doesn’t appear in the notification, so I was hesitant/unsure that it was set properly. Then, I wondered what time zone the system would use for the topic timer. But, it all worked out.

In general, I think the time zone feature would be magic for doing announcements/posts in our global community. If I want to get something out for our team in Oxford at the start of their workday, knowing that I have it configured for 8am BST adds clarity and confidence to the workflow.

迟了点回答，但在测试我们组织颁发重要奖项的主题计时器时，我也有同样的疑问，我不想在错误的时间发布。

也许这能帮助那些像我一样不那么精通讨论的人，如果界面能显示时间是本地的。但为了确定，我在本地时间上午10点创建了一个测试，设置了自定义日期（今天）和时间（中午），界面确实显示它将在2小时后发布。

时区参考（如编辑器中的插入日期/时间）对我们很有用，因为我们是一个国际组织。
