Firing up a web browser to go to FT to hunt for the tiny "The time is now x:xx" footer at the bottom of the page counts as "easy"?

My smartphone's clock app has a tab that shows the current time in a (configurable) list of cities, which is what I use to keep track of time in different time zones when the need arises.

The reason I initially posted this suggestion way back when is that when reading a thread it is sometimes useful to know when messages were posted (if someone was having issues, are they in the air already; or is the information I'm about to post otherwise stale/unneeded, etc.). If the message timestamps are in my home time zone then I have do to a mental conversion.

Also since the message timestamps show when the message was posted, they are obv not useful for showing the current time in my home time zone.

However I recognize that everyone has a preference, so if the feature gets implemented it absolutely should be an opt-in checkbox.
