169: It'd be nice if comments showed an absolute timestamp too

Reviewboard comments currently are shown with relative timestamps (e.g.
"Posted 2 days, 7 hours ago"), but it'd be nice if it showed an absolute
one too (e.g. "2007-07-23 16:23:30 GMT -08:00" or whatever).

It'd make it easier to determine chronology of the comments (especially
since the relative timestamps are really course (measuring things in hours
after days pass, or in weeks or months after longer periods of time) and
easier to compare a comment timestamps to Perforce timestamps to determine
if the comment was made after the author already submitted the change.

We'll have this ability when we have customizable columns.

Just now realized that that was "comments" and not "columns."

I don't think that this is really fixed.  You added a column to the dashboard, but I was never talking about the dashboard; I was talking about comments in the review request itself.


Perhaps you guys could show set title text for relative timestamps that shows the absolute timestamp?

We do have title text on the relative timestamps.

Huh.  So it does. (I could have sworn that I tried it before making comment #4...)
