 * my server is on PDT, i set my computer’s time zone to EDT (which should be 3 
   hours difference), but i get this:
 * Tuesday 7:00 PM PDT (8/20/2014, 7:30:00 AM EDT)
 * 12.5 hours difference? umm, is it broken?

 * I set my computer’s time zone to be US Eastern (New York) and I see the correct
   times on your site:
 * >  Appointments and calls accepted during these times:
   >  Tuesday and Thursday 
   > evenings, from 7pm to 11pm, GMT -8: Pacific Time (adjust for daylight).
   > In your local time zone this would be:
   >  From: Tuesday 7:00 PM PDT (8/19/2014
   > 10:00:00 PM EDT) To: Tuesday 11:00 PM PDT (8/20/2014 2:00:00 AM EDT)
   > and:
   >  From: Thursday 7:00 PM PDT (8/21/2014 10:00:00 PM EDT) To: Thursday 11:
   > 00 PM PDT (8/22/2014 2:00:00 AM EDT)
 * Some things to try:
    1. Ensure your computer’s time zone is set correctly.
    2. After ensuring your timezone is set correctly, quit out of your browser and 
       restart.
    3. Open your browser’s console and see if you see any Javascript errors. If so,
       post them here and I’ll see if I can figure out what’s happening.
    4. Try a different browser, or a different machine if you can.
 * By the way, this shortcode is intended to work with a specific date and time,
   as opposed to “Tuesdays” and “Thursdays”. When you say “Tuesday 7:00 PM” it interprets
   that as “next Tuesday”, not Tuesdays in general (8/19 is what I see). The effect
   will be roughly what you want except for the week right before we start / stop
   daylight savings time, when the quoted time will be off by an hour. That’s not
   what’s causing your problem. I just wanted to be sure you understand how it works.

 * FYI, the fact that I see the correct time in both browsers on my machine (Chrome
   and Firefox on a Mac) means that the server-side part of this plugin is working
   correctly. The problem must therefore be on the client side, i.e. your machine
   and / or browser. Your customers may well be seeing the correct times even if
   you aren’t. I know that’s not much comfort, but it’s something to be aware of.

 * huh. okay
 * i quit my browser and re-ran, now it seems correct to me too

 * yeah, i figured.

 * hah, interesting. yep that makes sense
 * it sure would be nice to be able to adjust the user time zone display, since 
   i do not need / want dates, but only days of week, displayed
 * thanks for looking into it! 😀

 * Oh, good, I’m glad it’s working for you now!
 * I see in your case that you would want a general “Tuesdays” and “Thursdays” as
   opposed to specific dates, but the time API’s that I have to work with (PHP and
   Javascript) rely on specific dates. Sorry ’bout that.
 * Thanks for using the plugin! Hope you find it helpful.
