Comment (by adamnelson):
@russelm agreed
Just to clarify what this ticket is about: it narrows itself to saying
that it's not 'now' if you're in UTC+8 and the time is saved as UTC+8 on a
UTC-4 machine - that's 12 hours ago and is the nature of the problem in
this ticket.
I think there are a few solutions:
1. Convert the timezone on submit. This is effectively the type of thing
#2626 would do - it shouldn't happen here and I'm only including this
option so it's understood that I'm not advocating this.
1. Show the current time according to the server next to the now button
and use the server's tz when 'now' is pushed
1. Show the offset according to the server next to the now button and use
the server's tz when 'now' is pushed
1. Give an option to easily disable the 'now' button
1. Give an option to use server time for the admin datetime widget
