When entering a date with a time-specific format, e.g. “LT” or “LTS”, Discourse should show the local time, not the string “Today”; alternatively, “Today” plus the local time. E.g. 12:00 PM (UTC) currently renders as [image]

It has never supported time as part of the date, it might have been working, but never was the expected way to use it. Also you can force timezone displayed. [date=2020-05-17 time=12:51:00 displayedTimezone="UTC" timezone="Europe/Paris"] 2020-05-17T10:51:00Z (UTC)

Interesting that this instance doesn’t seem to preserve the time portion, but it does on my install… [image]. I added the UTC time in brackets, because it was non-obvious UX.

Ah, I see the difference between my install and this appears to be a regression in the datetime plugin. Previously the string date=2020-05-14T19:31 would interpret the time portion, now it needs to be separate using a separate time field. On the bright side, the latest version shows the time now, so that part appears to be fixed.

Ah, well it was definitely working that way, as I suddenly have the odd post that aren’t showing the time correctly anymore after the upgrade. I’ll remember to specify the time in future :slight_smile: Also, thanks for your updates! It’s a great UX improvement :smiley:
