+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I normally run a PQ now and again as and when I need one. Often that's early morning GMT/BST (UK Time) and I'm never quite sure if it's still Yesterday or Today in the PST zone. Would it be possible for the PQ Page to show the current PST time somewhere near the "What Day of the Week to Generate the query" ? Item. Link to comment
+OH2TH Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I use the page creation time at the bottom of each geocaching.com page. Though it would be nice if local times could be used instead. // Tapio Link to comment
+Miragee Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) Several times I have requested an additional "Add to Queue" button for each PQ in the list, like the "Add to Queue" button for the "My Finds" PQ. So far, that idea has not been implemented . . . Maybe we'll get it with Version 2.0. Edit for typo . . . Edited April 12, 2008 by Miragee Link to comment
Deceangi Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 If you use Firefox have a look at Foxclocks add on which sits in your status bar Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 If you use Firefox have a look at Foxclocks add on which sits in your status bar The only problem with what you show is that Washington DC is three hours ahead of Pacific Time. Set it for Seattle, if that is possible. If not, Los Angeles is in the same time zone. Link to comment

Since you only run them on an as-needed basis, rather than having them regularly scheduled, probably the easiest workaround would be to check both "yesterday" and "today" when you want to run the PQ. That way you should get it right away regardless of whether it is today or still yesterday in Seattle, and then you can clear the checkboxes. Link to comment
+tozainamboku Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I agree with Miragee. Both of us live in the Pacific Timezone. A button to click to run a query now (or ASAP) would be useful no matter where you live. In fact I suggested something like this in 2005 Link to comment

I just thought there maybe an easier method... Link to comment

I think this was a work around for Firefox users and not a solution.....this subject has been brought up several times and I thought something was said ver 2.0 would address this. I can't find it so I'm using my memory Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Many thanks for sorting this out... Days to Generate (Server time: Sunday, June 22, 2008 4:19:49 AM) Just what I wanted! Birdman. Link to comment

Yes, but I have no problem living in the eastern time zone. So I always know Groundspeak is 3 hours behind me. Link to comment
