Thread: How long ago info

I think it would be very useful if by the side of every post/thread's date and time it has a how long ago info. For Example:

11-06-2011 10:16 PM 4 days and 2 hours ago

or

Yesterday 10:27 PM 1 hour and 19 minutes ago




It'll also help the users that don't config their timezone!

What do you think mates?

Good suggestion. I don't really mind how it is at the moment, but if it is not too time-consuming to implement then it would be nice.
And I do not think that it would lead to any additional cluttering of the threads or what not either.

every post already actually gives that info by the members name who made the post

I would never dare to risk stepping on your toes, but I am a bit confused. Because this is what it looks like for me at the moment:


And I guess what Capivara is suggesting would look something like this:


Is there any way with current site options to enable this format?

This mod would be especially valuable for the Guests, who HAVE TO deal with the set timezone.

But as I like my forums to be simple and clean, I'd also want to be able to disable the "Last post date" option, if possible, from the General Settings.


/me runs off to do some googling on vbulletin plugins :P



*is this is?

vBulletin Options>Date and Time Settings>Datestamp Display>Detailed

Yeah, that's correct. Just tested it out.

Personally I prefer the current system, but I am indifferent on the whole.

Picture of what it looks like when set to "detailed"

Good idea IMAGINE! T-I could implement this mod, but if the user want it could be disabled by his will!

I think the 'Detail view' mode would be pretty good, but only as addition, because it would give people another alert when they think about reviving a one year old thread. It would at least take away some of their excuses for doing it :)

Yes Magister, no more gravedigging threads!!!! lol
