For example, I live in Australia, but I got a US web server. The web server is 14 hours behind my local time zone. So, my setting here~~ is ~~"+14"~~.

In the personal user settings each user can set their own time zone.

	*'''Session lifetime (seconds)''' (''only available with database sessions''): Defines the time in seconds after which a survey session expires (provided there is no action from the participant). When using regular, file-based sessions, it is up to the system administrator to define the right values for 'session.gc_maxlifetime', 'session.save_path', etc., in the PHP configuration. Not only the web server settings but also the other similar settings of other applications may overwrite the setting for file-based sessions when editing it locally via the application. The maximum value that can be introduced is 65000 (seconds). It is recommendable to use a reasonable value. Bear in mind that, when using database sessions, check whether the MySQL setting called '''max_allowed_packet''' is set to a large value because some surveys generate over 2 MB of session data		*'''Session lifetime (seconds)''' (''only available with database sessions''): Defines the time in seconds after which a survey session expires (provided there is no action from the participant).
