Then people reading the community on their watch page would completely miss it, wouldn't they? Since the entry wouldn't appear at the top (as "just posted") but at ?skip=480 or whatever, along with the other entries posted "at the same time". (Though I presume this may not be a problem for this particular use-case.) > This is true, but in recapping the community, I've noticed that > communities DO sort by the date given on the entry, rather than > the server date/time, on the archive view.

Yes -- time zone support would have to be a lot better for this to work well. Ideally, all entry timestamps would be associated with a timezone, and then entries could be sorted by the UTC version of the timestamp, which would alleviate the problem you describe.
