The timestamps on topic-titlebars, and in posts, are both given in "GMT" eg, "Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:33:45 GMT" But UTC is the usual 'standard/default' time given in all other areas of the interface. Mentioned by the anon here: http://ee-flow.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Sandbox&workflow=050ddf68ce2bf00fc8b1fa163e68c4ac#flow-post-050ddf68ce33f00fc8b1fa163e68c4ac
In particular it should be using mediawiki's localization functions (So you know, it works properly in non-english languages), not RFC2822 format.

This was working, but now Flow content is displaying timestamps in a fixed M/D/YYYY format, and in Pacific timezone.
Well, in no-Js "mode", this still works. However, it looks like there is no JS support for formatting date/times, at all.
Is this about simply the hover behaviour when i hover over "3 days ago" or something else? Please clarify so I can work on this bug.
(In reply to Jon from comment #7) > Is this about simply the hover behaviour when i hover over "3 days ago" Yes. (In posts, and in the TopicTitleBar "last active" time) (But note that the "exact" timestamp is the only one available, after 1 month. I.e. There is no more hover behaviour, after 1 month. E.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Rvi3v4h3bbh8mlbc That should stay the same, but the exact timestamp should be using the correct format.)
