Improve time stamps in the Roll20 chat log HTML

This is a pretty low priority ask, but it'd also be pretty easy to implement if i had to guess: How it works now (to my knowledge): * time stamps are stored in a span with class "tstamp". aria-hidden="true" * If the message was within the last 24 hours, it only displays the time (ex: 2:44 PM) * If the message is the first message of a new day, it displays the date and time (ex: July 11th, 2022 2:00PM) * Subsequent messages then follow a time format, until the next first message of a new day How I'd like it to work: * Given that timestamps are not shown to the user and are only in the HTML, I'd love it if timestamps were always shown with a full date. Either MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS or even just a unix timestamp Why? The way timestamps are done currently makes processing chat logs difficult programatically, you have to "remember" what the last date was and use that context to infer what date/time a message was posted.
