Ajax support is improved with checking to see if difference is greater than 10 seconds. Otherwise, when adding something dynamically it would appear as '0 seconds ago'. Now it just states, 'just now' and 'less than a minute ago'. If the difference is greater than 5 days, I have it output the date instead.
