So there's the anger. I am human too. I stay out of the verbal bash posts unless I am drawn in. I'm really a nice demon too.

I read your comments, and took those factors into consideration, but they do not solve the problem of confusing navigation for visitors, lurkers, or new members. In the interest of inclusiveness and ease of use, I feel that the "ago" method is superior to the "timestamp" method. That is my opinion, and I have backed it up with specific reasoning.

 in.  I prefer the timestamp. And I prefer it because it is easier for me to navigate, and it was easier when I was a lurker and wasn't logged in most of the time. I almost always know what time and day it is so there is no figuring or using calculators with me. If today is the 9th, and there is a post that is from the 5th, then I know it was 4 days ago. I don't even have to think much about it. It also makes it easier for me to see when people post if I haven't been to a thread in a week. All of the posts say one week ago, and so I don't know if they were the same day or not. Posts over several days are all lumped into one catagory, and I don't like that. I want to know if the drunken post was at 2am in the morning, not just if it was today. I guess I am just more aware of things like that and I like numbers. After all, I work at a bank. All I see day in and day out are numbers.  I think part of the reason people like the timestamp is because since it was around for so long, they are used to it and prefer that extra information. And like I said, just because it confuses you and discourages you, doesn't mean that every lurker feels the same way. I know I didn't. And what is wrong with just prefering something? I don't see why it is such a problem for you to log in anyway... and if you check the "remember me" box when you log in you will stayed logged in. Jeez.  edit: Oh, and thanks UT for the change. I like this way much better!

I'm going to log out and test the navigation confusion factor.
See you in a bit.
