 * Really nice plugin!
 * Is there any possibility to make the server timezone to synchronize with the 
   actual server where the website is hosted?
 * I think this is really useful because you don’t know from where you have the 
   visitors so this seems to be the only solution to fix this.
 * Any suggestion?

 * Glad you’re enjoying it.
 * The default setting for the timezone is grabbed from WordPress, the idea being
   that you’d have it set to whatever timezone you’re working in – and of course
   you can always change the timezone for your shortcode or rule. The potential 
   problem in grabbing it from the hosting provider’s servers is that they may not
   have it set to the timezone the servers reside in – many will have it set to 
   GMT, for instance.
 * Hope that explains it a little better.

 * I’m not sure if I understand, I just want to use a time which is pretty standard.
 * For example If I set right now the timezone to Europe and someone visits from
   USA I think it will be a huge delay so this is not good.
 * I want to be able to make it kind of the same for everyone but I don’t know if
   this is possible.

 * Actually, that’s exactly how it works. If, for example, you set the timezone 
   to ‘Europe/London’ and you have some content showing starting at 6:00 PM, someone
   living in New York will be able to see it starting at 1:00 PM her time (because
   there’s a 5 hour time difference).
