    function convertTZ(date, tzString) {
    return new Date((typeof date === "string" ? new Date(date) : date).toLocaleString("en-US", {timeZone: tzString}));
    }

    You did actually try this and discovred it doesn't actually work, right?

    can't say i did, i'm not a jS programmer, but was just throwing an idea out. but there should be a way to do it. In C/Python you can do it
    in a similar way. if the string is in UTC you should be able to internally convert it to whatever TZ you want.

    Unforuntately, there isn't. That's why there's moment-timezone and Luxon.

    Unfortunately Luxon is too modern to work with the sbbs version of js. moment-timezone is no longer developed or supported but at least it works.

    well that sucks... maybe sbbs (unless there's a specific reason for it) should use the system-wide version maybe? I know it may be more work for the devs, but just my tuppence :D

    as for the latter, maybe you should fork it and take it over lol
