Thanks!, glad you could sort this out and file a bug
But really, I understand from this that this feature was released as a Beta feature without it ever been tried out on any other project then enwp, which for me indicate a proper process for Alpha test before release to beta as been missing...
The very heated discussions of MV and Visual editor are much related to the fact that their quality and functionality at the time of full release was more of a state appropriate for a Beta release, The discsion has also clearly taken up the need of improvements of the deployment process.
It therefore make me concerned (much more than the bug as such involved here) to see that WMF still seems to have dysfunctional deployment processes.
I do hope to see, very soon, marked improvements in the software process.

To correct myself: It does NOT appear that the signature time zone is affected, that is always the local wiki default as defined in http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt no matter what you set in appearances.

Yeah, I can confirm this.
It appears that when you turn on HHVM it forces the default time setting to be UTC, so if you're on a wiki which uses a non UTC default time zone (usually the time zone of the region most using the language, we do this on around 200 wikis) suddenly all of the times you are used to seeing (in the history, recent changes, contributions, signature time stamps etc) change what time they are showing which gets confusing.
This does not appear to happen if you have 'manually' set your time zone (only if you are using the local default).
I'm going to file a bug now for it assuming someone else hasn't.

It has to do with timezone preferences. All times in latest changes and in my edits states time two hour wrong
In am not sure what you mean with take timezone into account, I just clicked into the box as stated in your mail, and then all times changed, and when I took off the feature all times went back to correct time

I experienced no improved answer time, but all time stamps in Wikipedia
for me become wrong making it impossible to use the feature. I would call this problem a thing that should have been found in an alpha text... Anders
Hi Anders,
Thanks for trying it out. Could you clarify what you mean? I don't see anything wrong, but I'm not very observant. If you're comparing the logged-in and logged-out views, did you remember to take into account the timezone offset preference (if set)? _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
