[solved] No Bug in Chatterbox (Displaying the hour in the time of a message)

Hello monks,

I just wondered whether it would be too much work to add a timestamp, when a message was posted.
I moved my cursor over the linked username and saw this:

Posted :53:14 (5:51 ago)

Checking the same entry in CB60 I saw for that message:

linuxer 2009-02-05 09:53:14 UTC

So I assume, that the timestamp isn't processed/displayed correctly inside the title-attribute of the user's link in the chatterbox.

Regards,
Linuxer

    This is by design, because that way we don't need to add the correct hour to display. Or at least I think that's the reason why the hour is left out when displaying the posting-time.

      Putting the hour in would mean that we couldn't cache the HTML because it would need to be different for each user. It also takes up more space. And the hour doesn't matter in a place that only shows, at most, 500 seconds of chatter. The leading colon is also intentional as a visual cue that you are being shown minutes:seconds not hour:minutes.

      - tye
