Feature Request : Timestamps for Shoutbox

Guybrush · 07-11-2013, 05:16 AM

The shoutbox should have timestamps so that it is easy to see when the last message was posted. You see timestamps in the shoutbox history, but not when looking at the forum index. If you don't know what a timestamp is, it should basically look something like this :

11:08 tore: A small timestamp on the left of the message that tells you when it was posted.

I assume there is a setting for it that only needs turning on. Could Yac look into this for us?

If this is possible, I second this request.

Would be nice, other forums have this. It's not a huge deal though because it takes two seconds to look in the archive. Timestamps are more of a convenience than anything else.

12:05 While you wait you could just do it yourself

13:06 That becomes a little troublesome as time is relative and we live in different timezones.

12:07 PM BST I don't see that being a problem

7:11 am EDT Yeah we can totally put in our own timestamps.

10:26pm AEST I usually click to expand the shoutbox to see the time stamp, but it would be handy as sometimes I accidentally reply to something someone said hours ago

32:48 We asked once and I'm pretty sure they said no anyways.
