I can get the time in there with:

<span style='float:right'> {$Shout['time']} </span>

but the time is always formatted "Today at: xxxxxxx". Does anyone have a suggestion for how to format it to #:## AM/PM?

Thanks!

TO CHANGE THE TIME FORMAT:

- Open your vbshout.php

- Locate this code:

function buildTime($time = TIMENOW)
{
	global $vbulletin;

        $Time  = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);
	$Time .= ' ';
        $Time .= vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);

	return $Time;

- If you want to disable the "x minutes ago" part, then put // in front of the these lines like this:

//      $Time  = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);
//	$Time .= ' ';

- If you want to change the time format for the [xx:xx am] part of the timestamp, change this line:

$Time .= vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);

to something like this:

        $Time .= vbdate('PUT_YOUR_DESIRED_FORMAT_HERE', $time, $vbulletin->options['yestoday']);

Replace 'PUT_YOUR_DESIRED_FORMAT_HERE following this simple guide.

Mine says
'g:ia' which makes a timestamp that looks for example like this: '6:55pm'.

AS ALWAYS, YOU SHOULD MAKE A COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL FILES BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY CHANGES TO YOUR WORKING CODE!!!
