Time formatting

Question

Can I suggest that Q2A use timeago for the "readable" dates? Or atleast have an option for time formatting?

Using a jQuery plugin is better because:

1. It updates in real-time

2. Doesn't force dates to a certain format.

3. Reduces server load a little (instead it's the browser processing dates).

+1 from me. Great idea. You can post it here http://www.question2answer.org/qa/2638/what-are-the-top-priorities-for-version-1-3-1-4

Answer 2

I agree, great little plugin. (I actually use it for the shoutbox app I developed for Q2A.)

Timeago does require jQuery, which Q2A doesn't make use of - yet. But I think it could be utilized well in Q2A for the stuff it already does and additional effects and polish.
