The time displayed at the top of these pages says 'CST' no matter what time zone the user has chosen in preferences. Misleading and not very useful.
When there are deadlines for things like competitions or special offers in the store it is important to know the exact time in Rendo-land so it would be nice to see this displayed, irrespective of what time zone I live in.
I live on the other side of the world, so to find out what time it is at Renderosity I have to go to my profile preferences and fiddle with the time zone while looking in an atlas to try to figure out which US city to pick from the list (Chicago? - I have no clue where US timezones start and finish or whether there's any adjustment for summertime or daylight saving or whatever). There should at least be a way to set it to default=Rendo time.

I agree, this is a good idea. Would be useful for things like chat as well. It would allow for meeting times to be arranged by a "universal" time reference point. It would also help to know when Rendos business hours are relative to the users time zone. All it would take is two times displayed at the top of the page - one for the users preference and the other displaying Rendo time.
