Hello everyone!

Up to this day Codeforces showed local server time everywhere, and programmers all around the world knew exactly what 19:35 Moscow time corresponds to in their time zone. Now it will be much harder for you to make a mistake and skip another round, since you are going to see time in your time zone.

This is what a usual London programmer sees waiting for Codeforces Round #337 (Div. 2):

The problem was not that easy to implement, since many parts of the site are heavily cached, and we had to manipulate time directly in browser using JavaScript.

Thanks for your attention, good luck to all at the next round!

I was trying a virtual today and everytime I opened a problem / standings, it alternated between contest running (virtual) or contest finished. I suspect this change to be the reason!
