Time stamping messages?

[Philippe Hurbain]

Could it be possible to get absolute time stamp on messages in addition to relative time stamp ("2 days ago")? It would be easier to use to reference things (eg. "when was this version of xxx program published?")

[Michael Heidemann]

That should be possible I think because the correct time stamp is used in the "Recent Messages" list.

[Philippe Hurbain]

Mmh... I see only relative stamps, like "two days ago"... (even though "yesterday" comes with a time of the day). Looked at preferences, found nothing

I'd prefer this too. Will wait to see what the other webmasters think and change or not change depending on consensus.

You made your post 08:44PM

[Alex Taylor]

Local timestamps would be nice, too :-)

Looking at the timestamps displayed on the homepage, I'm guessing the server is on the East Coast, right?

[Orion Pobursky]

I can do both. It'll just take some template changes.

[Orion Pobursky]

Ok, I lied. I can't do both without changing the module. I what I did do is turned off relative dates on the "read posting" page but left it on on the "posting list" page.

[Philippe Hurbain]

It's fine with me this way. Thanks, Orion!

[Orion Pobursky]

You're seeing this probably because you have messages grouped by date.

[Michael Heidemann]

I like the way it is now - thanks.

[Orion Pobursky]

Actually the server is probably on the West Coast. I have the site time zone set to EST

[Chris Dee]

I think this is an improvement, too. Thanks.
