Thank you!

I assume it isnt, but I figure I'll ask... is it possible to make it so users can set which they prefer in their settings? Cause I personally can't stand these timestamps. I liked the ago better because if i havent checked the cellar in, say, two hours, i can scroll down till i see numbers less than 2 hours.

I'm totally with Flint on this one.

Nope, this is a site-wide setting.

Flint 07-31-2006 04:16 PM

Again, the numbers don't lie, people obviously prefer the timestamp. But, I can't imagine why. To me, it is incredibly inconvenient and it doesn't add anything. It makes the site harder to navigate, less enjoyable.

Hip hip Hooray! Timestamps are back!!

Long live the Timestamps!!

Flint 07-31-2006 04:21 PM

Curious: what do they do "better" ???

That's what the "new posts" button is for.

:::stamps feet::: but I don't wanna use the "new posts" button!

But seriously, what exactly do the timestamps "do" other than make the home page of the site harder to read? Is it that you want to compare posts versus known dates when newspapers were published? Do they, in some way, add substantive data to the post that the reader utilizes in order to . . . in order to do what? I don't get it.

I mean, I'm sorry, but this isn't the only website I frequent. I want your home page to make the status of things clear to me, without "investigation."

wolf 07-31-2006 06:59 PM

It is only "investigation" if you are not oriented to time.

You want things your way? Go back to AG.

Flint 07-31-2006 07:01 PM

Good one.

"Is this the right room for an argument?"

Flint 07-31-2006 07:03 PM

:::ahem::: Substantive discussion...anybody?

jinx 07-31-2006 07:09 PM

Woohoo!
I'd like to thank the acade... I mean UT.
:D
