I have created a user-script and added a post for it on stackapps [Replace all relative times with local times][1] For info on how to install user-scripts in different browsers, check the info of the [script][2] tag in stackapps . The script will replace the relative dates with your local date after hovering over a date. I made it like that, because sometimes the relative date is more useful. Specially when it's `x minutes ago` or `x hours ago`. --- If you know what you are doing already and don't need any of the above info: > To view the source of the script: > https://gist.github.com/dannyhajj/8057530 > > To install the script click [here][3].
