Date format

**Ace** · 11-17-2007

I've switched the forum to show more detailed date/time information instead of just "Today" and "Yesterday". Now it will say "5 minutes ago" or "3 days ago".

Is the new format better or worse than the old one?

Worse, in my opinion.

It just seems too specific in my eyes.

Kei · 11-17-2007

It's kinda weird right now, but I can get used to it.

**Zer0** · 11-17-2007

Its okay. A little weird but more specific.

Superior · 11-17-2007

I agree with everyone else, it seems to be too weird. I'd prefer just the Today, Yesterday, ect. way. Just makes more sense to me.

I think it's way better this way. Keep it! It shows that people have visited your topic more recently than just sometime today or sometime yesterday. I'm all for the new change, I hope it doesn't get removed.

MEh, it's okay. I'm not complaining.

I feel I should slightly ammend my old post. Is it possible to do a combination of the two or is that just asking for trouble? If possible it might be good to have the format as it is now but with a cut off at the 3 day mark or the 1 weeks mark and then have them revert back to the old date format from then on. But I wonder if that would just look weird.

Sorry, a combination format isn't possible without modifying the code.

"Better" has won the poll, so the change will stay.
