Hello community!

Why are the date/time stamps shown inconsistently in the notification feed?  Specifically, this feed sometimes shows "yesterday" for older notices, sometimes shows the exact date/time, and these appear intermixed in the feed.  There does not appear to be a cutoff value where "things older than X-hours show data/time...everything else is relative to today."

Hypothesis: There is a defect (feature?) where the date/time of activities in the feed show relative to the time zone of the person performing the activity (e.g. reply, like, etc.), rather than consistently displaying with the time zone of the person viewing the activity log.

If the values were consistently showing date/time stamps, that would help people answering questions to know where to pick back up in the list...without the need to enable email notification for all alerts.  :^)

Thanks!

@Bill Sheboy good catch! I took a look at this and I believe different types of notifications display in different time formats.  It looks like "Likes" have an exact timestamp whereas other types of actions are more fungible.

I'll put a ticket in the backlog to see if we can make any adjustments here. I didn't find an obvious way to adjust this - it might be a platform setting we can't change.
