For anyone that is unsure of when the deadline for Challenge LOs or Challenge Points (in your own time zone)...please got to this site {Link (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/)}

Enter your location.

Under the next clock that shows up, it will show you how many hours behind or ahead of GMT you are.

You will then subtract/add that number of hours from/to 12 midnight GMT.

In the above sample (my time zone in Los Angeles CA. USA) I am 8 hours behind GMT. So when I subtract 8 hours from 12 midnight I get 4PM...making my deadline to post challenge LOs or Points 3:59PM on the last day of the month. When we switch to Daylight Savings Time, I will be GMT -7 (instead of GMT-8) so my deadline will then be 4:59 PM on the last day of the month.

I hope this helps everyone. :flower2:

I consider myself very lucky to now be +8GMT instead of the -7orso I used to be, I am always early for birthdays and International deadlines now :25r30wi:
Thanks for that site!

that's a great site! thanks for sharing it, i'm always confusing myself even though i know i'm +8 GMT, i can't remember all the timezone differences in the US, eg. PST, etc. :rainbowf:
