 * I notice in a new install of WP2.9 the time zone setting asks what city is in
   my time zone but in an existing WP that was updated to 2.9 it still has the UTC
   settings. Should this have been updated? Did I do something wrong? Thanks

 * Do you have the automatic timezone plugin running? It is no longer needed.

 * IDK. Mine shows the drop-down and the site has been upgraded since something 
   like v2.7.

 * just found this…
 * 1. The reason one blog shows the old way and the new one shows the new way is
   a matter of PHP versions. The server has to be running a PHP version of 5.1 or
   higher to show the new stuff, since WP is using the new timezone support in PHP
   5.

 * Ok thanks. I had already enabled PHP 5. For me it’s just a setting in cPanel.

 * I can confirm that city selection in the ‘timezone’ menu will not work with php
   5.0.3. I upgraded to PH P5.2 and all is working now.
