Help please: adding a timestamp to a post

[thesunstar]

Is there anyway to add a timestamp in a post?
I am currently setting up tables with one column being dates, and i'd like them to be proper timestamps... but the only way i know how to do this is by doing:

Dec 31, 2021 17:10:00 GMT -8:

BBCode being:[quote timestamp="1640999400"][/quote]
Which takes up an annoyingly enormous area of space...

I'd appreciate your help please

You could provide a set of CSS rules on your forum that recognizes an empty quote which bears only a timestamp and style it so it appears inline with your text.

<style>/* Style any quote bearing ONLY a timestamp */

.quote[timestamp]:not([author],[source]) {
all: initial;
display: inline-block;
font: inherit;
padding: 0 1ch;
}

.quote[timestamp]:not([author],[source]) .quote_body {
all: initial;
display: inline;
font: inherit;
}

.quote[timestamp]:not([author],[source]) .no_avatar_placeholder {
display: none;
}

.quote[timestamp]:not([author],[source]) .quote_header {
all: initial;  
font: inherit;
color:transparent;
}
</style>
