XF 2.3 Post timestamp in the future?

[rhs]

Hi,

Where do such times actually come from?



The user is shown here that this post will be written in 6 minutes, i.e. in the future ...

I assume this is due to the respective end device. Or can the display be changed to a pure timestamp (22:13 h)?

Does no one have any tips?

if you are talking about your own board, i cannot say. users should not be able to post in future even if they change the time on their own devices. but this is technically possible using an addon that lets you change time of a post. i use one such addon and if i make a mistake, i end up with a post dated in future.

Yes, this is my own forum and a few users report that they have received such times. I realize that it is due to the time on their device, but the users think that it is a bug in XF.

The question is how to output the timestamp directly from the database (22:32 h) instead of getting information like "5 minutes ago" or "in 6 minutes" as above? Then the users might not notice time differences.

looks like xenforo does not provide an option to show absolute time in post data i searched around the forum and couldn't locate a definite post on how to change templates to change this behavior. someone else might be able to help you out with this!
