• 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 super-duper Scratch party is [date]28/2/2024[/date]
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 super-duper Scratch party is [date=notus]1/2/2023[/date]
Feb 1


The title was originally “Time Tag”, but I thought “Date Tag” would be more accurate.

I'm generally scared to post this because you're my boss but i guess I'm taking chances

Can't you look at the activity? Or, in the forums, when it was posted?

highlight (double click) a piece of text + control (command if on mac) + shift + down arrow key to see my full “siggy”.

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

coming soon :)

So it could be used for things like this?

Everytime I see the number 2024, I think its 2014 for a millisecond but then realize its 2024.

that would be like “The leap day is on Today” which doesn't make sense

I own a federation on the Requests forum, and they are staff there.
I'm not quite sure why they're worried I'd fire them because they disagreed with me on the Suggestions forum.
