Change time to "___ ago" so works for all time zones?

    A lot of the chats I’ve been checking out will say, “Posted a minute ago” then “Posted ten minutes ago”, then “Posted yesterday” etc. and this would be great for this plugin so that it doesn’t display the wrong time for people in different time zones? I’ve just installed the chat, and I’ve already got users asking me how to set the time right :/ It’s confusing and frankly it looks bad.

    Not sure what it would take to do this, but it really would polish this plugin out! It’s got features a lot of the other chats just don’t have, but this “bug” is a pretty pesky one.

    Quick Chat settings, then go to time stamp offset.

    Are you able to explain a bit more how the time offset works please?

    As the option is only available to me as admin, how does it benefit my individual customers? What time is it offset from?

    Cheers,

    Exactly my point. So I can set the time to offset so it works for my timezone, but what about my members who are in other timezones from me?

    This is why I suggested that it say “a minute ago” instead of the time. “Two hours ago”, etc. Then it can go to “Yesterday” or the date, and pretty much still be accurate for everyone.

    I have no idea what it takes to code something like this, it was just a suggestion, since the time zone thing is confusing for my members.
