The users on my forum requested something I would have thought to be standard in vBulletin.

Showing the date and time a quote was originally posted. That's so much better when reading a discussion.

I have some programming skills, so pointing me in the right direction would also be great, but maybe someone has seen something that would work in my case.

anybody?

This is not as easy as it sounds. A quote gets saved as text in the message and just gets spit out with the rest of the message. The time for a post is a variable (It's going to show a different time based on your time zone) and would need to be parsed every time the message is shown to someone.

I noticed. I was able to show the postid in the quote and probably you need that to get the posttime. But I'm not experienced to use that to get my wanted results.

I think it's something that is really missing in the vBulletin software. Almost every other forumsoftware has this and it would be a great improvement to the user friendlyness of the forums.

Can't believe nobody else agrees this is just something that's missing in vBulletin

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
