Regional and Timezone
TrucklineMP uses your timezone preference to show local dates and times on events, notifications, and other time-sensitive content.
Accessing regional settings
Section titled “Accessing regional settings”- Click your avatar in the top-right corner
- Select Settings
- Open the Regional tab
- Or go to
trucklinemp.com/user/me/settings?tab=regional
Choosing a timezone
Section titled “Choosing a timezone”Select the IANA timezone that matches where you live or where you plan convoys. Examples:
Europe/LondonAmerica/New_YorkEurope/Berlin
Changes save when you confirm. Relative times (for example “2 hours ago”) update on the next page load.
What uses your timezone
Section titled “What uses your timezone”| Feature | Effect | |---------|--------| | Events | Start and end times shown in your local offset | | Notifications | Timestamps in the bell popover | | Profile activity | Localized display where supported | | Forum | Datetime rendering when forum uses your account preference |
Some VTC tools (such as announcement quiet hours) use a timezone configured on the webhook, not your personal setting. See VTC Announcements.
Best practices
Section titled “Best practices”- Pick the timezone where you actually schedule events, not necessarily your physical location if you lead convoys in another region
- Update your timezone when you move or change your primary play schedule
- Event creators should still enter accurate UTC-backed times in the event editor; viewers see converted local times
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”Times look wrong by one hour
Section titled “Times look wrong by one hour”Daylight saving changes are handled by IANA zones. Re-select your timezone if you recently traveled.
Event still shows a different time than Discord
Section titled “Event still shows a different time than Discord”Discord messages and TrucklineMP event pages may use different display rules. Trust the event page on trucklinemp.com for official RSVP times.
