When did this start appearing instead of the time you posted?

Does it matter? 'Just now' is a second or two...then gone forever

Thanks Fliss and Lorna

I only found it slightly annoying RunMummyRun because it also comes up with 7 minutes ago or 51 minutes ago (example). Sometimes I have a quick glance of the time of the last post, so if I go off for a bit then I just remember the time, but when it comes up like that it makes it more difficult to know where in the thread I am.

I realise I probably just confused everyone, it made more sense in my head Grin.

Hey guys, we've had this running for the last few months. We implemented it to help make the posts more readable.

Research shows that something like Just now is much easier to quickly understand than the full 30 Dec 2018, 11:15.

We've tried to strike a balance between being informative and being easy to read, similar to other apps like Twitter, Facebook and messages.

What do you think?

I think the time is easier to understand. Say it's 11.18 and the post says 32 minutes ago what time was that? Come on, quickly!

I agree with JaneJeffer, the time is much easier Smile
