 * Hey, count down timer picks time based on users browser time instead of WordPress
   default time. It creates issue of showing different count down times in different
   countries.

 * Hey, it uses a server time when setup and then it is using local user timezone
   so I believe it should always work as expected.

 * No it does not. Here is a scenario..!
   Site time zone is UTC. My browser time 
   zone is UTC+5.Now, if I set a count down on my site for 17th Feb, 12am (UTC),
   it will expire for me on 16th Feb at 19:00 (UTC) (which means 17th Feb, 12am 
   Local Time). When it should actually show me 5 more hours to go.Please give it
   a try. Thank you

 * Oh yes, that is correct – I misunderstood your question.
 * When setting up a timer, local time zone from browser is used. Once this setting
   is saved and accessed from different timezone/location, it will correctly display
   the time remaining.
 * We decided to not use the WordPress timezone settings, because many customers
   have hosted server outside of their local timezone and got confused by that later.
 * Hope it make sense, Ales
