shoutbox (timestamp)

[soup]

How can I get the timestamp to show the actual date and time as opposed to 5 minutes ago, 10 minutes ago, etc.?

Thanks!

Chris has a great code for this ~ support.proboards.com/thread/449282/show-specific-time

It should show in both the forum and the shoutbox.

thanks for your help Luv, however i tried putting the script into the global footer and it didn't work. what's weird is when you refresh the page, it very briefly shows the format i want, then changes to the 5 minutes ago, 10 minutes ago format.

That's actually a ProBoard's problem, particularly in Chrome.


It was doing that for me when I first installed it, but now it's working fine. townsquareexiles.boards.net/


I tried checking out your forum, soup, but it's closed to guests.

Just wanted to jump in and add that if you hover your cursor over the timestamp you can view the whole timestamp!

As far as I know, just Chris code.

Strange that it's not working for you.

Are you using Chrome?
