Posting Date/Time Inconsistency

[JetsetBkk]

Just look at these examples:

 

           

Why can't they be consistent?

 

I don't really want to know the day of the week when something was posted, but I always want to know the date, and the time.

 

So why can't the software always display the date and time of the post?

Why display only the date when it was several days ago? And why not add the time?

 

Also, why display the date and time in a quoted post, but not in the original post?:

 

This inconsistency just doesn't make sense.

 

You can add the day of the week if you want, but I don't think it is a hard thing to do to always display the date and time of a post, as in the quoted post above.

It shows the day of week if is posted within a week before the day you look at it.

If older it shows the date.

Quotes are dated differently.

You are not the first to complain.

Remember such discussion in pre Covid times.

Not a real cure but you can hover with the mouse over the time entry and see a consistent format (although it ignores my preferred settings from Windows).

I know how it works. What I am saying is make it consistent - e.g. show the day of the week, the date and the time ALWAYS.

All that information is there.

 

It cannot be that difficult. What happened to that "Forum Doctor" bloke? Is he still here?

If you get Facebook, Twitter and other apparently popular social media sites to do that, perhaps ASEAN NOW formerly thaivisa will follow the trend. I don't see, though, what use the day of the week week would serve I your suggested scheme.

It might be much harder than you think. I may be something that cannot be changed since it is part of Invision Community software.
