Probably not needed by most, but how about a 'current time' down the bottom of the page, near where it says who is logged on at the moment.
When I see forum posts, it's hard for me to tell when messages were posted - as it displays the time in american time, but I'm in Australia, so my time is completely different to the time stamp on the forum posts.
So, unless I know a post went up five mins ago, I often can't tell if it's a new post that I haven't read, or if it's been there for four or five hours already. Also, in the middle of my day, messages are suddenly marked as being written YESTERDAY. Which makes it harder for me to know if the post came up today (my time) or if it actually was yesterday (my time).
Rather than a clock at the bottom, maybe just a time adjustment in My Profile, so I could say, like, +10 Hours (Australia East Coat) to my time zone, and it would adjust all time stamps on the website by +10 hours when I'm viewing them?
