Hi guys,

on my forum http://www.astronomertalk.com, I changed freshness to say latest activity, all was well for a few days, but now it says my latest activity was 1 day+ ago on my first category, when if you click through you can see it was only 1 hour ago… Does anyone know why it is saying this?

Additionally, how can each user change their timezone so the posts have the right time next to them?

Things look correct now, did you fix this?

If not please give specific links to show what your issue is, you have too many topics and forums for me to guess which one you are talking about.

Have you run any of the repair tools to see if they fix the issue?

Also, WordPress doesn’t support multiple timzezones for users so this is not included with bbPress for that reason, they appears to be a few plugins that might be able to do this though I haven’t seen any that are compatible with bbPress, but you could have a look yourself.

Hi,

it seems to have fixed itself, ill post back if it becomes a problem….

Ok, as far as timezones, what if I get a user from Australia and one from America? wouldn’t they want to have different timestamps by each post? is there no plugin for that.

Best,
JB

Cool, the timezone thing makes sense if you are going to use explicit times and dates eg. 11th January 2011, though just take a look at this page we are discussing this on here, everything is relative, 12 hours ago, 1 day 7 hours ago etc.

So this is partially the way bbPress works around this issue, if WordPress Core fully supported users locales then we would for sure update bbPress to also include this.’

I found the Trac ticket for WordPress to add this functionality, details are here:

Ahh I see, but whats weird about my forum is if you go to the topic and replies, it goes by date, not how long ago???

Can I change this?
