I’ve been thinking about suggesting this for a while and finally decided to do it since, as was referred by some users on the IMDb Information boards, the new look for the message boards makes it a little difficult for us non-Americans to know when exactly a post was written. In the old boards we had both the complete time stamp and the “xx minutes/hours/days ago” information, so most people working on a different time zone than the standard IMDb time (which is Pacific time, if I’m not mistaken) would just ignore the second part of the information:
Now we only see the complete time stamp:
If we want to know the “xx minutes ago” information we have to hover over every single post we read, which is very inconvenient:
Things would become a lot easier to us foreign users (and even Americans working on different time zones) if we could choose the time zone we want to be displayed.
