Hi,

Living in Australia, I'm often struck by the uselessness of the 'date' header on most forum displays. A US time means little to me, and gives me no feedback into how new or old a post is (in the context of a single day of course).

Showing a 'how long ago' indicator on posts would be a useful feature, for posts less than say 24, or 48 hours. It could also be extended to be colour coded, for a quick visual "What's New" eyeball scan.
