-
Log into your ReadTheory account.
-
Click on your name in the top-right corner and select "Edit Profile."
-
Scroll down to find the "Time Zone" section.
-
Use the dropdown menu to select your correct time zone.
-
Click Save to apply your changes.
That’s it—your timestamps will now match your local time. ✨
