Timestamp in Shoutbox
« on: May 27, 2010, 02:42:29 PM »
For some time, I have mentioned that the timestamp on messages in the shoutbox has been gone. It would be a nice feature to have back again. Can this be fixed?

Yeah I miss it too but Sel took it off because he thought it wasn't needed.  I guess for the most part it isn't needed, but it is good to see when a message was left on there for you, or to know if a conversation is still going on or happened much longer ago.

If everyone feels it needs to come back then I guess Sel will put it back on.  I think it's only you and me who miss it though Roc lol!

Unfortunately, it's all or nothing, for everyone or no one.  Just how it is.  And the timestamp was taking up nearly 30% of the shoutbox.  I don't think it's THAT useful.  But if you all want it on, then keep the input coming.  Maybe start a poll on it.

I would like to see it. I was just thinking the other day that it would be nice... there are times when I log on and I see a conversation going on... and I try to join in... and then realize that I'm getting nothing because everyone has since logged out. xD I didn't realize that there used to actually be one there :O

Although i don't really use it to talk, I think timestamps are rather useful, so i know, for example, whether someone said that thing just ago, or a day earlier :)

In one way it seems like a spiffy idea. Sometimes the shoutbox is like walking into a room and saying "Hey guys how are you?!" only to find they left three hours ago.
At the same time it might render the shoutbox nearly useless on my cellphone (which is the primary method of my Rawrbox communication)

We should also do a free pie promotion cause everyone loves pie and it goes well on my phone and.. *continues for the next couple of hours*

I liked the timestamp because like what people said, it is hard to know what has been said at a point to know if someone is there or not.
