Is there an option to set that displays how long ago the last post was added in minutes and hours versus the actual time? I guess for me it's just easier to tell when you don't have to look at what time it currently is and then compare it to see when the last post occurred. And it just slows me down even more when I'm not the fastest when it comes to translating military time. :D

Yah, I thought I saw it that way at first. Maybe I was seeing things?

Yes, it can be changed.

I changed it from the 3 minutes ago style, to the timestamp style mainly because of user comments sent to me saying what a pain it is to figure out 5 hours ago, 28 minutes ago, etc.

This is sort of a Coke-Pepsi debate, or a Ginger-Mary Ann issue.

The military time part I understand the issue for you civilian types :) I'll see if I can tweak it to show date / time in regular time ... but I don't think there is a option for that.

What if we were to do a forum wide vote to determine the format? :D

Yeah, this military time is garbage. Got to change that up.

Too high maintenance, I'll go with Mary Ann.

My unsought vote would be to go back to "25 minutes ago" rather than the display time.

Okay, but more importantly, Ginger or Mary Ann?

Before my time... but I'd go with Mary-Ann.

As a kid....Ginger. But as I grew up, Mary Ann by far!
