Relative Dates

[Wellwisher]

You want *ALL* dates to be relative?

@Kindred, this looks sexy. . This works for me folks. Thank you Kindred, this will help a lot of lost souls. 

I still want to introduce the "on-hover tool tip" feature which reveals the full date & time. Anyway we can add this? I can then work out the .JS and the .CSS required to achieve it.

that becomes more difficult --- in that the function would have to be modified to output two values (the relative and the absolute) *AND* every location which calls the timeformat function would have to be modified to accept that changed output.

Thanks for heads-up Kindred, appreciate the helpful advice. I might get a freelancer to take a look into this at some point. If I do, I will share the code here or in the tips & tricks section.

Looking into this a little bit more -- my changes above will also have a possibly unintended side-effect -- it will also affect the display of the event in messages with linked calendar events as well as Polls and "edited by" notations...

No worries, thanks for letting me know Kindred.
