Hi guys,
On the thread list I just want the dates of the newest posts only, and not the specific time that the last post was made, is this possible?
I think it's probably not doable since this part can't be edited (?):
$[thread.last_post.created_on]
Thanks for any advice!

You made that just for me? Thanks! But after testing it out, unfortunately it doesn't work on my forum, hopefully it will be of use to others Can we get more people to try your new plugin to see if it works for them? I want to show you my forum to illustrate why I want this feature  Notice how the "23 hours ago" looks fine But the timestamp below with dates and times, messes up the alignment Plus if you hover over it, it shows the time anyway if someone is really desperate to know the specific time a post was made. I just want it to show for instance, 19 January, 5 March, 26 July, etc "Yesterday", "x Hours ago" etc are fine because they are not too long. |

I would suggest using twitters approach to timestamps, which uses moment.jsRather than full dates they use short code characters as follows "1 day ago" => 1d "24 minutes ago" => 24m "6 seconds ago" => 6s "2 hours ago" => 2h The $[thread.last_post.created_on] creates the time but also supplies the unix timestamp <abbr data-timestamp=""> which can be passed to moment.js |

Thanks for your response @synthtec But I have no idea how to use this  With javascript I never really understand what it wants me to do. It asks me to "install" a file, but that doesn't make any sense to me because when I click install it just opens up a long wall of code. Are people using some sort of program that I am not aware of? |

Not sure what you mean there seaturtleBy install a file, do you mean "embed" the file into your page/template? |

In the link you gave it says download on the left and then install on the right
Do I copy and paste this into my HTML? It doesn't seem right

Ah ok gottcha. Sorry, those commands are actually used in tool chains, downloaded locally and bundled into a package. That was just a link to the documentation site Building proboards stuff we don't have that luxury. Instead we need to find an online source that will host the scripts, namely a CDN. So inside your admin->templates->forum_wrapper template, you would add the following <head>
...
<script src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.min.js'></script>
</head> |

I just tested this script on my forum and didn't see any change.
I tested between the <head> and </head> tags in the wrapper template and in the global header / footer.

You can install the code posted in this thread then add the following to your theme's CSS to conceal the time portion |
