Relative Dates not Relative when Older than about a Month

When using Relative Dates, as I prefer, dates older than about 1 month are not displayed as relative any longer but as Absolute dates (e.g. 06-11-2022).

Not so long ago it used to display relative dates going back for at least months & one would see dates such as "1 month ago", "2 months ago", "5 months ago", ...

Why has this changed recently? Please bring it back to what it was. I find relative dates much easier to scan.

Hi @XRaySpeX,

i hope you are well.

Khoros have updated the support ticket and have confirmed the following.

The relative date is capped at one month. So posts made more than a month ago would display the absolute date.  This is how the new Hermes skin that we use, works so it is not something that I can change.

I am sorry for the disappointment this will cause ☹️

Cheers

Sean

Hi @XRaySpeX,

Thanks for the post,  I hope you are keeping well.

This isn't a change that we have made nor have I heard from Khoros about any such change.

Let me raise a ticket to Khoros support and inquire about what is going on.

Cheers

So it's changed from what it used to be when it was longer?

Good morning @XRaySpeX,

Yes, apparently this is part of the new Community skin we are now using.

@Sean_D : OK, 1 year would have been more reasonable 😞 .
