Upgrading Drupal

Hello,

Is it possible to add new time format 'ago'(10min ago, this hour, today, last week and so on) in future Drupal releases? It's becoming very popular. Of course, I can write down my own function but it's better to use it like this:

format_date($time, 'ago');

while format_date function takes care about all timezone stuff and so on.

I'm re-creating a drupal 5 site in drupal 7 (don't tell me to upgrade instead, please, long long story). On both the old and the new sites, there are a great number of attached files handled privately.

Putting the files into the appropriate directory on the new site doesn't cut it, because the db doesn't know about those files. Is there some brilliant way other than one at a time to clue in the db?

All help appreciated,

I came to the idea after Dries's keynote (20/03/2012), to be more continuous.

While reading please (for a moment) forget technical difficulties.
This is an out of the box idea, please read it and give your feedback...

When looking at other trending, winning software(Firefox/chrome/mobile apps) They all auto updates.
Other dying software is holding on to big releases (IE6/7/8/9).

We want to convert our site and will be doing it into a development area.
Is the best approach to dump the 6 version into the 7 devlopment or would it be better to convert page by page?

I've just upgraded CKEditor to 3.6.2 on Drupal 6.25. After the upgrade and the update.php any images that were edited with CKEditor no longer display on the sites.

I've done some digging and found that whether the images are displayed via Lightbox or standard HTML their properties are being changed.

The path remains the same except that it appends my local user name to the beginning of the path, i.e. /system/files/images becomes /~username/system/files/images.

Hello, I had a basic question about handling content from a production DB. I have been working on a development Drupal 7 site now for a few months and it used a Drupal 6 DB export from the current live site. Now that I have a pretty good working copy of 7 on my dev server, I wanted to know if there is a way to re-import all my user profiles (I have a couple of new users), news, and press releases to include my more recent content-without affecting the configuration of the dev Drupal installation? Maybe you could direct me to a tutorial or something that will help me?
