Thread dates...

[Guest]

From another thread, Fiona's comment

Note to self (and any others who care to read it): always check the dates on posts before commenting.

Call me stoopid but It would help greatly if the year was included in the dateline rather than having to guess as to how old a thread may be.

They are when the month changes.

?????????? I dont know how you got that bit up but even when quoting your reply it still doesnt show the YEAR!

Not sure what you're meaning here, Matt. The dateline on my system clearly shows the day, month, time and year. The only exception is the 48-hour period running up to the current time where it will say either Yesterday at... or Today at..... (e.g. my post currently says "today at..." but in two days time it will say Friday May 31st at...)




Is this not the same on your system?

It is only here on IBC that I have this issue, every other forum I belong to shows a full date time etc... Is their a date setting option within the forum or some other reason? It is a real pain when trying to follow older threads & work out when they started etc etc

CraftyTanuki,
I am using Mozilla but not sure why that would be an issue.

I asked the question then thought I would go have a look... sure enough in the profile section the last option is to set the date format... HOORRAAAHHHH....

[fiona]

That was going to be my next suggestion. That is the default date setting so at some point you must have accidentally set it to something else.

Glad you got it sorted.
