How does one set the time zone (eg to UK)

Hi -
I'm guessing you mean to set the colck on a computer. If that's the case, go to "Help" and search for Time Zone. Instructions and a link will come right up, and it will be obvious how to change it.

I think that Mudcat time is Mudcat time - you can't set it.

It's like USSR railway time, which was (is?) Moscow time, even in the east where the local time may be 7 hours different.

The UK and Ireland are 5 hours later, so just add 5. They should change the standard from GMT to MMT.

If you use Firefox there's a nifty little add-on you can download:

MudCat time is the time where Max lives , with Mudcat probably in his basement , currently Eastern Standard Time , which as Bonnie said is Five hours after GMT , but watch the Autumn/Spring change , as it can be a week different !

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.

The time is still 1649 when Mr Playford published his English Dancing Master. We don't need any modern new-fangled time - we want Folk time.

I know a dysrhythmic accordian player who makes any tune sound like it's in 16/49 time ....

Whilst I'm here, Playford published the first edition of the Dancing Master in 1651, not 1649. Prescis ... Preciss ... Acurracy is important in these things you know.
