Time stamp again
 

I'm wondering if we could revisit the time stamp issue, now that we've experienced it both ways? I know I voted for the "ago" option when UT originally polled about this, but I've since come to hate it. Anyone else?

Time/date vs. ago - which do you prefer?

i hated the ago right away. still do. it sucks.

cock.

Although ago don't annoy me, I liked the time and date better.

ditto

Ago is all right, but I admit to being nostalgic about the actual dating.

It's been a day of polling, but I'd like the Monday folks to weigh in.

I prefer the date & time system to the ago system simply because it's more convenient for establishing, by date association, the time lapse between when someone posts a message and any dated material (e.g. newspaper, magazine, and web page articles ... etc.) that may be quoted from or linked to in the message. It's more convenient and more accurate for determining the dates of posts and time intervals between posts that are 1-4 weeks old should precisely dating those posts (i.e. information therein) become important for any reason. Otherwise, there isn't much difference between the two systems; unless, I forget to take my Ginkgo and the ago system gets me all confuzzled ... (oops, missed another dose). :blush:

I like the date and time system better, too. If I was on at 4 a.m. on Monday morning, dammit, I want people to know!

I dunno.
What is ago?

I like to scroll through and look for "minutes ago" threads.

I've always hated the "ago" stamp. Date and time are so much more helpful.

fwiw, the time and date are still viewable in the advanced editor window.

btw, ago should go, and please reinstate time and date.

Thanks in advance.

This may be a "grass is greener" situation, but I've changed the timestamp back.

Obviously the masses have spoken, but I personally find it suddenly impossible to navigate the site. Now I'll need to take notes and keep a calculator handy in order to simply determine if a thread has moved or not.

yay!

shut up, flint.
