Thread date/timestamp instead of "m/h/min ago"

Hello,

this is a question regarding internal forum software.

How can the forum be changed or customized by user that each thread including "Recent Topics" lists the original timestamp yyyy-mm-dd or dd.mm.yyyy (DE) instead of the very specific display date format "months days hours min ago"?

When I do a mouse-over the specific date / timestamp is displayed e.g in the longer format "11 March 2016 10:15".


I pretty much hate the current date format settings when I do thread browsing or advanced search.
What shall I know what was "8 month"... ago? I really want to read the concrete month + day + timestamp.

I gave up searching for a thread like this so I decided to post here.

Oh god this please x 9000111

Looks like it's in now; FDR? MWM?

[EDIT] Hmm, just realised that sometimes the "m/h/min ago" view is sometimes useful; is it possible to implement it on the "forum/recent" view for "last post by..."? These have classes along the lines of ktopiclastpost / ktopic-latest-post, so should be able to implement it even if using a javascript/jquery overlay for post-rendering if the board settings don't allow...

Not me. I have no special access to the forum or web site.

Thank you very much FDR.
Much better now.
I very much appreciate your efforts!


It may be wise to make some file backups of the forum settings so once there is an upgrade you can easily copy back old settings or merge different file content?


BTW (I may move that to 2nd thread):
Do you DeviationTX server/forum owners make manual (offline) backups, not only to a 2nd online RAID backup system, but also offline to 2-3 NAS, 2nd FTP etc.?

You probably heard the story of the big RC-Line German forum where all online (including backup) HDDs got corrupt (RAID HDD recovery on restore destroyed >1 HDDs too) and all threads of multiple years have gone?
Would be nice to know that there are 3-4 server / forum owners of you you who actually also do offline NAS/FTP (tar.gz mysqlDB) backups once in a while (e.g every 1-3 months).
Please don't rely just on one online backup RAID server solution.
On my V-server I am using the scripting tool "backup-manager" for this (supports automatic FTP upload).
