Hi, Jonathan.

1. That's true, time zones names used in events doesn't are use common names but they fully represent all time zones (check in Joomla!, there are also no time zones names but cities). if you think it should be changed, please, post here:

2. I'm sorry but I don't see that issue on your dev site: prntscr.com/722v26

For # 1: OK, so how would any one in the US identify their local time zone. Where's Easter Standard Time or an associated US city to identify with. UTC+-X would be better. If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones , your selection would just be a subset of this ISO Standard? The reason I'm harping on this is my guess is that it'd be confusing to 99% of your customer base.

For # 2: Please look again in Dev. I was able to replicate by placing more in the description field.

Hi, Jonathan.

As I said, I agree with you that timezones names should be more significant. I could only tell you how I recognize them: I know what cities have the same time zone...

Please, do as I advised, post about it in our Community: www.jomsocial.com/community
You'll be second person that complains about it (today), so this should draw PO attention ;)
We on Support are not able to change things designed by developers...

Second issue is not caused by AMOUNT of text in field... but by html code used inside. In table code is truncated to not display whole description. Truncated code damages table (as tags are not closed in properly.

So or you just ignore it - and still use HTML in event description.
Or you stop using html tags (especially divs).
