Time stamp on images

[Bill Landenberger]

G'day all,
One thing I find slightly annoying on the 360cities site is how it reads the time stamp from uploaded panoramas.  My time zone is UTC+10 hours (and +11 in summer time), and the time stamp in the exif data is in local time and tagged as UTC+10 (or 11).  For some reason, 360cities seems to treat the time as UTC rather than local, and so then adds another 10 (or 11) hours to it.  The upshot is that I always have to subtract 10 or 11 hours off the time that shows up on uploaded files.  Can this be looked into?  Or is it something wrong I am doing?
cheers,
Bill

This issue is almost a decade old and reported several times. I've given
up hope that it'll be fixed some day.

In fact, more than a decade:

and that was already a "long standing issue" back then.

Thanks Erik.  Glad it's not just me!  And, yes, this issue has been there for as long as I have been using the site.

cheers

Hi guys,

Happy New Year!

We have checked this issue and it turns out to be way more complex than we initially thought.

We examined this issue several times in the past and always chose not to change it due to drawbacks associated with the change.

We'll add it to our to-recheck-list, we'd love to work on this at a point but time and resources are limited. 

Regards,

Elena

Watch til the end, since there is a solution to timezone chaos.
