• Date Tag (Originally "Time Tag") •
My suggestion is a date tag.
How would it work?
This is an example placement of a date tag:
The date tag would be used to show a word like Today or Yesterday if the date put into it was in the last few days, much like the dates on forum posts.
The above code is only one idea of how the date is inserted into the block. (It obviously wouldn’t use what I used there, because other countries besides America put that in a different order.)
Why would it be useful?
Example 1: Say @RandomUser is making a post about his party he’s having in a studio, and it’s only on that day. The day before, he types in his forum post, “The party is tomorrow!”. Then, the next day, someone goes on and sees it. They plan to visit the studio the next day. The next day, they get to the studio - and the party’s over.
That sounds a bit far-fetched, but you get the idea.
Here are some suggestions of how it might be in more detail from other forumers.
The title was originally “Time Tag”, but I thought “Date Tag” would be more accurate.

the blue controller site has a feature like this, and it translates into everyone's timezone so this would be a nice feature to have if it was similar to that.
Solution:Jan 2The super-duper Scratch party is [date=us]1/2/2024[/date]Feb 1The super-duper Scratch party is [date=notus]1/2/2023[/date]

Hi guys! Some people see my PFP and think I'm female, but I'm actually male. (The PFP looks like a boy to me, and it's from a boy PFP creator, but…)

Hi! I'm @RecessFailsOffical. This is my signature, where I am allowed to advertise, blockspam, etc. It goes under every post I make. I know I spelled Official wrong in my username because I made this account when I was like 2. I'm in 7th Grade, I like coding and I want to be a software developer when I grow up.
Pronouns: He/Him or any pronouns as long as I'm not referred to as “Gibson”, “she/her”, or “TommyInnit”.

I recommend reading jvvg's essay about the scratch team before complaining, as it may change your opinion and provide insight on the topic.

I'm not quite sure why they're worried I'd fire them because they disagreed with me on the Suggestions forum.
