I've added a time tag that displays a timestamp in the local timezone of each user. For example, the time of the next game update after this post is: 1641618000

Use like this:

• Create yourself a unix timestamp; you can use a tool like this one
  
• In your post, add
  Code:

  [time]<myunixtimestamp>[/time]
• ???
  
• Profit!

"Fri Jan 07 2022 21:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)" seems like a bit much for me. Is there any way to abbreviate the timezone to something to PST and have GMT replaced by UTC (UTC being a time standard instead of a timezone) and that itself placed after the timezone like ""Fri Jan 07 2022 21:00:00 PST (UTC−08:00)"". I hope that's not asking for too much, just a matter of order and aesthetics.

I don't know if it would be feasible to switch the order of the day and month? I'm thinking that something like 01 Jan 2022 would be easier to read than Jan 01 2022. I also second what Jay said in their post above.

I whipped this up in 10 minutes, so right now the output format is simply what your local browser does by default when printing a Date-object. Certainly I can look into customizing that, though I'll need to familiarize myself with the browser i18n APIs first.

This still does not work on all themes. Pls fix.

If you're going to make bug reports, please be more specific. Which themes? have you cleared your browser cache first?

Looks like it was fixed. Thanks.

Don't mean to gravedig, but seeing as this seems like it's still up in the air:

Code:

elm.text(date.toString());

could perhaps be replaced with something similar to

Code:

elm.text(date.toLocaleString(navigator.language, {timeZoneName: "short"}));

Date.prototype.toLocaleString() on MDN | options object fields on MDN

Just speculation — I may be mistaken, but it seems the JavaScript for the BBcode is only inside a $(document).ready() call, so the code is not actually triggered for the user when using the quick reply or quick edit features that don't refresh the page. This would explain why the issue seemed to fix itself since the issue goes way upon reloading or navigating to another page, and doesn't appear if any other user visits the page.
