X hours ago vs. today/yesterday

[Angel Costa]

I want the right time. Users mostly need this to stablish timelines in their heads.

If there is a plugin for this, I'll pay for it.

Not really practical. As a Dev, I know this option exist, but I know most users do not. And my board is for them.

In your theme template find this template:

Forums > front > topics > post

<a href='{$comment->item()->url()->setQueryString( array( 'do' => 'findComment', 'comment' => $comment->$idField ) )}' class='ipsType_blendLinks'>{$comment->dateLine()|raw}</a> 

Change this:

{$comment->dateLine()|raw}

To this:

{datetime="$comment->post_date" norelative="false"}

Unfortunately its not relative at all but it will give a visual absolute date.
