      Hey all,

      Fairly simple, just had a new idea for the conversions that can appear when text is highlighted:

      What do you think? 🙂

        @tobysmith568 Where is the conversion? I don't see one there.

          He converted the relative date (x months and y days ago) to a calendar date. Mind you, that would presume the text is generated and thus relative to today as opposed to static and relative to the date of publication. Though then again, this forum rounds relative dates and so says "a month ago" even though it is a month and 5 days - but it also shows the actual date as a tooltip.

            @sgunhouse I was joking because this seems more of a calculation than a conversion to me. I see a conversion as something that shows a value in a different unit from the original one.

              @leocg A relative date to an absolute date is for sure a conversion. Furthermore, every conversion IS a calculation.
