Message Board Issue, Can this be changed?

[Jason A. Sieg, CMI]

The Issue I have is with the time/date stamp on the Message Boards-Threads.

I do not like the recent change of the thread/posts, time/date stamp that appears on every post. I like the older style of the time/date stamp. Can this be added to the Message Boards Control Panel as an option as to how we would like to view the postings time/date stamp.

Older Style:
12-06-06 9:50 AM

Newer Style:
3 minutes ago
or
2 days ago

A third option could be a hybrid of the two:
3 Days Ago, 12-03-06 8:15 AM
or
3 Minutes Ago, 12-06-06 9:50 AM


It's not like it would take up any extra room at the top of each post.
I'm sure it would take some additional programing though.

I would prefer a return to the previous style of time stamp as well.

I never saw any post explaining why it was changed.

I agree!

I also agree with the date/time stamp before was better. I also don't like the threads I read dropping out of position.

Paul. if you go to quick links and click today's posts it will show them in the position you are used to.

I do however like the :new posts: as they are now. Its much quicker viewing unread posts by using multiple tabs in FireFox or IE7

Quick links//today's posts---I get 19 minutes ago, 3 days ago, etc.

I like the old way---I'm just too old to change.

Ditto Jae I agree with every thing you said. Roy Cooke

Jae, I was referring to the posts disappearing from "new posts" after viewing them. I didn't mean to imply that the method you tried would give the old time stamps. Sorry for any confusion.

I don't think your too old to change, just a wee bit slower.

Thanks Michael, That's the way "New Posts" used to look. Guess I'll be using Todays Posts from now on.

[Michael Larson]

It would seem that Chris has changed the time stamp back to the way it was previously. Thanks Chris.

I feel much better now.

I can find out when things were posted now.



Thank You
