Is it possible to put a proper dateline on everything, instead of having that godawful annoying "X hours ago" that shows up any time a post falls between 59m59s and 12h59s? It's one of those minor things that generates annoyance al out of proportion, at least for me... maybe some people like it?
If I'm outvoted, fair enough, and I wouldn't call it high priority anyway, but it always seems bassackwards and a bit condescending to have posts' age clumped up into X hours when older ones show a precise time, as if anyone who made it out of kindergarten shouldn't be able to compare two times if they really want to know how long ago something was posted rather than just "before or after my 'last visited' dateline."
fake edit: okay, probably second grade these days, with how the US education system is going. Still well below the usual user's education level in any forum I can think of, doubly so here with the general focus on literature, a relatively complex MMO, and politics.
