Deane Barker	Tuesday 31 July 2007 2:36:31 pm I'm looking for a template operator that will take a date and convert it to "time ago." So it would take something like -- 07/31/2007 11:34 AM -- and convert it to something like this -- "Three hours ago" Does anyone know of anything like this? I looked through the contributions, but didn't find anything.
