why?
like other than “meet me at 69 rizz way at {time tag}”

scratchers on the forums from 10-500 posts have at most, a 7 short sentence span for replies. if you cant keep your posts in this range, then dont act suprised when someone asks for simplified version

It would be useful for any forum post with a date in it.

It might convert to months and then years, like the comments do.
(Therefore, “23 years ago”, if we're being like the comments, which don't show the exact date after all that time.)
It could also show the exact date ago with years and months, or it could be like what you were saying.

Whatever's best.

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

this idea is definitely good!

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

Well, the forum activity time thing is hours off, so I wouldn't be relying on that.

Hi! I'm kinosaurs515!

These are my trusty guardians who protect my signature from evil kumquats! If you want to create a guardian for me, tell me on my profile! I can creat one for you too!

(=I)()(K) // This is Kino. No one knows why, but he has a hole in his body. He is very protective and energetic, but just isn't brave.

-_- // This is Lance. Lance is tired all the time, but is still somewhat "helpful".

define AWAKE 
broadcast [ sleep] // This is Sleep. Just as the code says, as if he's awake, he will sleep.

when green flag clicked
forever
if <not <[bumped] = [true]>> then // This is Bump. He helps bump my posts. Because he is Bump, he has a bump on his head.
broadcast [ bump]
stop [ all]
end
say [Yay! It was bumped!] for (2) secs
C0-K
end

when I receive [ NOISE] // This is Nosy. He noses a lot with a long nose.
BE NOSY

define BE NOSY
Nose with nose until they say nose

So, Por Ejemplo, the date is far out. Let's say

 Scratch is going to turn 20 on [date]15-5-27[/date]

Will it just display days until or round weeks, months, years, etc? and what about all of the other formats you can make a date, e.g. the format the Americans use where the months and days are switched?

 Scratch is going to turn 20 on [date]5-15-27[/date]

Can this be made interchangeable?- no. I think there would be a bump down the road if you used this feature. Say an American who did not know the syntax of the “Time Tag” was going to have their super-duper Scratch party on January the second.

The super-duper Scratch party is [date]1/2/2024[/date]!

The computer, which is hypothetically instructed to use the other syntax, will display the date as February 1st. You see the problem this presents right? Scratchers, active and inactive from the United States make up a whopping 33.82% of scratch, which is approximately 434,757,93 registered users give or take. Given that other people might use the US' system as well, that is only more Scratchers that have the potential to make that mistake. I think it is too complicated and too easy to get mess up to implicate in Scratch
