Improve the Time Format in Profile. In Yabb 1 Gold you can select some predefined time formats. in yabb se you have to deal with wildcards. that's uncomfortable.

LOL most of us see the customizability of the time profile as an improvement - and I know I have no plans to take away that functionality....if you're users can't understand the formatting system - why don't you add some enties to the help file as an example?

Then the novice user should get shot :P

No, serious, if you really have users that can't figure that one out, then change the comments near the box, and make a nice explanation. Include examples (as mentioned by the others in this thread), and just tell them they can copy paste them into the box.

Well most of my guests know nothing about php time formats or anything. I think there should be a few more exaples, but keep the same system.

Click the ? mark right beside it and there is explanation for it right there.  If your users have a problem understanding it, create a sticky post telling them how it works.  It's pretty straightforward...
