[Welshy2008]

Good Mod,

But I think it may scare some members offline when they realise how long they actually spend on there.



TBH, I don't install mods that aren't supported either. Mod added Today and "Not Supported".

Thanks, and I am sure a lot would go for this.

EX: 5 Months 2 Weeks 1 Day 15 Hours 44 Minutes 33 Seconds
EX: 12 Minutes N/A


Having the time populate to the POSTBIT like either of these looks like ass.

You say:

We currently are talking about making an average time per day (similar to the posts per day)

I like the mod but will wait till ^^ that is accomplished.
