  Hi,
  
  LastUpdated returns a time stamp, but no time zone is specified (for calls like albums.get and images.get). What time zone is this date/time generated in? Thanks,
  
  Matt

  
  Hey Matt,
  
  Sorry about the delayed response.
  
  All timestamps are in PDT.
  
  Cheers,

  David,
  
  Can I request that you include the timezone in the returned LastUpdated field, so that php's strtotime() knows what timezone it is working with, and therefore automatically converts the timestam to align with the (remote) server's timezone.
  
  This means we dont have to do it manually in the php code, and also means that the timestamp behaviour in the API is the same as the timestamp behaviour in the feeds (which do include a timezone).
  
  Thanks
  Felix

  Actually, can I request you return a proper timestamp?
  
  http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822
  
  so instead of 2009_03_17 05:02:42
  
  perhaps
  
  March 17 2009 05:02:42 PDT
  
  Would be most appropritate?
