I have a suggestion for the column that shows when the last post was made. How would it work to instead of putting the time, put how long ago it was? This would be handy because I look at it at lets say, 4:00 pm and see a post "today, 5:36pm". I would need to know the time zone of the poster to be able to tell how long ago it was. Sorry if this was a bit confusing, I didn't know how to exactly word this.

EDIT: problem solved. I had the time zone set wrong... But if it said how long ago it was, it would still be handy, for lazy people like me.

It  would require changing the software for a continuous update. As you say, set your own timezone and a bit of calculation - not that hard.
