No, you can do it at the code level and have the board set to a specific time zone by adjusting default time (minus or plus) off the server time.  A default forum time offset variable could also be added to the forum setup administration to handle this through a global getTime function used throughout the forum system. However this would not stop users from setting their own time offset unless this part of the registration/settings was commented out and did not show up for the user to change it.

Hmmm... perhaps there's a mod in here somewhere.

what was the compatiblity problem?
If the global time offset (GTO) is -2 hours from the current time and the user wants it to be -3 hours from the global offset, it would simple be -5 hours from the server time.

-2 GTO and +2 UTO would be 0
-1 GTO and +2 UTO would be -1
as it's all relative it shouldn't affect anything if you always use server time and then apply the offsets correctly. However, I have found areas where the time is posted by the database and not the server in earlier version. Since my database and server are 3 time zones apart, the difference is noticable.
