My suggestion is a date tag.
How would it work?
This is an example placement of a date tag:
The super-duper Scratch party is [date]28/2/2024[/date]
The date tag would be used to show a word like Today or Yesterday if the date put into it was in the last few days, much like the dates on forum posts.
The above code is only one idea of how the date is inserted into the block. (It obviously wouldn’t use what I used there, because other countries besides America put that in a different order.)
Why would it be useful?
Example 1: Say @RandomUser is making a post about his party he’s having in a studio, and it’s only on that day. The day before, he types in his forum post, “The party is tomorrow!”. Then, the next day, someone goes on and sees it. They plan to visit the studio the next day. The next day, they get to the studio - and the party’s over.
That sounds a bit far-fetched, but you get the idea.

Here are some suggestions of how it might be in more detail from other forumers.

the blue controller site has a feature like this, and it translates into everyone's timezone so this would be a nice feature to have if it was similar to that.

The title was originally “Time Tag”, but I thought “Date Tag” would be more accurate.

So, Por Ejemplo, the date is far out. Let's say

 Scratch is going to turn 20 on [date]15-5-27[/date]

Will it just display days until or round weeks, months, years, etc? and what about all of the other formats you can make a date, e.g. the format the Americans use where the months and days are switched?

 Scratch is going to turn 20 on [date]5-15-27[/date]

Can this be made interchangeable?- no. I think there would be a bump down the road if you used this feature. Say an American who did not know the syntax of the “Time Tag” was going to have their super-duper Scratch party on January the second.

The super-duper Scratch party is [date]1/2/2024[/date]!

The computer, which is hypothetically instructed to use the other syntax, will display the date as February 1st. You see the problem this presents right? Scratchers, active and inactive from the United States make up a whopping 33.82% of scratch, which is approximately 434,757,93 registered users give or take. Given that other people might use the US' system as well, that is only more Scratchers that have the potential to make that mistake. I think it is too complicated and too easy to get mess up to implicate in Scratch
