Details:
Changes all timestamps on a page to one of the following formats:
- "today at 12:34" (since midnight this morning)
- "yesterday at 12:34" (since midnight yesterday morning)
- "may 6 at 12:34" (in the last six months)
- "may 6 2007 at 12:34" (more than six months ago)
The reason it converts old timestamps as well as new ones is that timestamps are by default displayed in UTC. Conversion automatically changes them to your current timezone.
