A couple of days ago I created a career stackoverflow profile. I'm looking daily to see if anyone has visited my profile. It says

this week 7 visits, today 3

How is this counting? If I'm not wrong in other places/countries week starts on Sunday, here it starts at Monday. And what about timezones? When it says today it means past midnight at which timezone? I guess it isn't locally.

    Stack Exchange uses UTC time.

    I'd assume "this week" means "within the last seven days"

  • @ThiefMaster Thnx I guess this is obvious for some of you.

This is the code used to generate these time periods.

var now = DateTime.UtcNow;
var thisMonth = now.AddDays(-30);
var thisWeek = now.AddDays(-7);
var today = now.AddDays(-1);

Since this is just candy data and not used as input to any other function, we just do a quick and dirty calculation.
