| Sep 13, 2011 at 16:01 | comment | added | user154510 | @Mr.D It indicates that the time is not exactly now, but rather in the near vicinity of now. Using "just" that way is quite common and not informal. "About now" would mean nearly the same thing but is more awkward, and "around now" seems too loose. I like "just now" when shown on a post I just made. In fact you can think of it as being short for "this post was just made now" or similar. | |
| Sep 13, 2011 at 15:57 | comment | added | Michael Mrozek | Changing it to "now" isn't a bad idea; that would fix this one as well | |

| Sep 13, 2011 at 15:23 | comment | added | Grant Thomas | Even if you could accept at that point (not getting the message,) the message is entirely awkward anyway. What on earth has 'just' got to do with anything anyway, sounds as informal as slang. What's wrong with 'now' for now? Since we're talking of relative times, anything after now has no comparison containing 'now.' (i.e '2 minutes after 'just now'') | |
| Sep 13, 2011 at 14:47 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | Good catch! I think most simple solution is to put back the old counter in this specific scenario so the user will know exactly when he can accept the answer. | |
