Hi,
In the comments on my site, the timestamps for comments from today are being abbreviated as "Today" instead of showing the real date. (similar for "Yesterday")
Is there a way to get it to show the real date? "Today" is confusing for my users as many are in different timezones. I have the "Use WordPress Date/Time format" setting turned on in wpDiscuz, but nowhere in the WordPress date format settings do I see a reference to this kind of abbreviation. Do you know where the abbreviation is happening?
Thanks,

Ok actually it was only doing it for Today and not for Yesterday. I hacked the isPostedToday function in class.WpdiscuzHelper.php to fix this. I think this abbreviation functionality is unnecessary.

Hi,
This issue was marked as solved, but I would still appreciate a proper fix for it because I don't want to have to re-hack the code every time there is an update. There was an update this week so already I need to reapply the hack. I think that wpDiscuz is trying to be too smart by abbreviating the date. It could be an option but I don't think it should be the default. In fact, the option is "Use WordPress Date/Time format" but wpDiscuz is not actually using the WordPress Date/Time format...
Thanks,

Hi triode,
We've just updated wpDiscuz core without new version release (a few hours ago). Please deactivate it, delete then search and install it again. The time format should work for today.

Hi,
Sorry I missed your comment on August 5th. Somehow I don't think I received an email even though I am subscribed to this thread. Anyway, I just confirmed that this has been fixed. I removed the hack that I had applied and confirmed that the time format for comments from "today" is correct and is not abbreviated. Thanks very much for fixing this.
Best Regards,
Tom reacted
