In any case, as george has pointed out, anything past 2 days is a formatted date. I just have not gotten around to porting his php to javascript, which I plan to do. | |
| Jul 7, 2010 at 4:19 | comment | added | Bill the Lizard | Follow-up question: There are some slight errors on the elapsed times displayed on the site due to treating all months uniformly as 30 days and ignoring leap years. Do you think it's a good idea to keep these errors to match the site (see my answer) or should we try to fix them? | |

| Jul 5, 2010 at 7:52 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | @Edan - you are probably right. I will, although I want this post to remain in the relative quiet and more contextually appropriate stackapps as well, so hopefully it won't suffer 'exact duplicate' fate. dupe cops miss the point sometimes. | |
| Jul 5, 2010 at 7:31 | comment | added | Edan Maor | @code poet: I'd still post on Stack Overflow and try to give it a good title. This is something lots of people will find useful at some point. | |

| Jul 5, 2010 at 3:48 | comment | added | Sky Sanders | no, there is no question. it is a tip on how to present dates in a friendly format, similar to that used by the stack exchange sites, whose data we are consuming via the api. If you wanted to format a list of items that have dates, as most do, this might be useful information. I know I had to spend some time figuring it out, no need for others. I am not sure why or how I would post this on stack overflow and am sure that it would not be discoverable. | |
| Jul 5, 2010 at 3:48 | comment | added | Mark Henderson | It's a dev-tip... maybe we should play Jepoardy here as well? | |
| Jul 5, 2010 at 3:34 | comment | added | Dennis Williamson | Is there a question? This is more suitable for Stack Overflow. | |
