8 years ago (Kenny now). I agree that the datetime info should be there for remarks. The format @difiore gave is reasonable under the hood, but I think the displayed format should be in a more human-readable format.

8 years ago Agreed with Kenny, human-readable format would be better.

8 years ago To me, YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS _IS_ human readable :)
HH:MM:SS is perhaps better.
Date and time formatting maybe (down the road) could be a user-defined setting. The current date format (MM/DD/YY) is confusing for international users (many non US sites use DD/MM/YY).

8 years ago I would suggest something like this is most readable. Switching in settings is good for international users. I know we can all probably read YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS timestamps without too much trouble, but not all users can.

8 years ago Or look at this issues thread itself. "kchiou commented a minute ago" is pretty useful to me as a UI user. If there are well-supported strategies for human-readable times, I think we should use them.

8 years ago Date formatting is a solved problem in JS. We can use any one of many options, choose one:

8 years ago right, since easy options are available, it makes sense (at some point) to have the user specify what they would like. right now, "remarks" is just a text field, so if there are multiple timestamps in there, it won't be as straightforward to parse out). I may make sense (as some point?) to treat remarks as an array.

Posted for Tony:
The clock button at the bottom of Remarks nicely enters a timestamp in "HH:MM" format, but it would make sense to have this enter a complete datetime stamp "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" and with some kind of tag around it (e.g., bracketed in some way "[...]" or "<...>"
