How do the timestamps on the post boxes work?

As stated... I am wondering how the timestamps on the reply boxes in threads work. Are they displayed at what time the responder- other than yourself, posted in YOUR timezone or theirs (assuming they are in a different zone)?

Dumb question, I know but I am curious.

If you are logged in I assumed all the times were listed per your time zone settings?????

Suggest all times are represented in / converted to the time zone set up in the user options. IIRC, the default is Eastern time until changed by the user???

Yes, the posted times are shown in your time zone as long as you have the time zone set correctly. So I'm in Florida and if it shows someone in California posted at 7:00 pm, it means they posted at 7:00 pm my time but 4:00 pm their time.
