in reply to seeking a way to get timezone from members on fly

There are databases that can be used to try to look that sort of thing up, but they won't always be right. I, for instance, have a phone number with a 612 area code (Minneapolis, Minnesota), but I live in Sweden. I have also been known on occasion to route my traffic through a US-based proxy so that IP-based geolocation will think I'm in the States.

Ask your users for their time zone. It's the only way to get reliable results.
