I noticed the time is wrong, so I Went to change it.

It's currently set to UTC, which is one hour ahead of my local time. However, the dropdown list only shows the first viewable selection, and no more items.

So there are locales in Africa, and some in America, but none of Europe.

In the forum... as denoted by the Community > Forum Feedback board.

So in your User Control Panel, and then Board Preferences, then in the My Timezone section.

You first have to select your time as offset to UTC and then it will list the available cities for that Timezone in the dropdown below the UTC offset dropdown.

Wow, that's an awful user experience to use.

Has this always been like this by default for phpBB? I've never in my life seen any form of user locale selection operate like that.
