In the topic lists, I would very much like to see the date and time when a thread was stared and last replied to. "4 days ago" takes more mental processing than date and time would. And if I remember that I last read the forum on Monday at 09:23, it would be easier to find that point in the Active Topics than having to calculate that this is four days and some hours ago and then try to remember from the contents of the "4 days" old threads what I have read before and not read before. Or in other words: the time indicators of the old forum made the forum easier to read. |

I was thinking about this too. Ironically, for a brief flash, when changing pages in the active topics list, the actual date and time does come up and then reverts to that year ago, month ago nonsense. So obviously the capability is there but being overrode. Can this be fixed easily? Snakes ( |

If we disable JavaScript we see the actual date and time (in GMT). But then other things don't work. For instance, posting a reply... |

Simply place your cursor over "4 days ago" or the like and you will get the actual date and time. |

Thanks Leolaia. That works. Still, it can't be compared to the ease of seeing all the times at a glance when scrolling through the topics lists... For instance, when there are several pages of "a day ago" and I am looking for where I stopped reading at 12:09. However, although it would be nice to have the option to see the actual time in the topics lists, I do realise that even if this were to be implemented, there are probably other things that are more important. But thanks for the advice, it makes it a little easier for me. |
