No, my apologies. I have seiously not had enough sleep lately! Yes, the apostrophes are correct -- I just had a blonde moment. However, the phrase is a bit awkward. Something like this may be easier to read: "What time zones are your friends and contacts in?" Still not brilliant, but maybe clearer.
I wasn't referring to font size for the sign in buttons, it was the simlarity of the words. Using very different phrases, such as "Sign up" and "Log in" (my preferred option), or "Join now" and "Sign in", makes them easier to differentiate.
OK - now I'll try to get that much needed sleep so I can avoid any more embarrassing brain lapses tomorrow!

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I don't think I got the apostrophes
wrong: "my friend's current time" (one friend / singular) is correct /
see "possessive case".

The font size is 16px, and font weight is bold, which I thought is
generous for a web site. Is it really too small?

Ok, I'll try to add a heading.

Thanks again!
