Just a thought-everyone has ideas they would like to see on the upgrades/improvements-I wish all comments/submits were dated-rather than minutes/hrs or days ago. It would be alot easier to keep track of posts. I know it shows up on "archive" type posts-but I mean I'd like it if it was done to all(on all tabs too) Just a thought people =O) ~linda~

It isn't impossible to program. It would mean some confusion if the user time were included as I could answer a post before it is posted. I think it is easier to use the server time-stamp. The day/month/year might be nice but even better would be the ability to sort with a drop-down menu like "most answers" "no (or few) answers" "most recent" etc.
Since the site changes are already in progress, it may be too late to request this type of change.
Thank you Ms. Veronika for all your hard work!

We used to be able to sort kind of like that, maybe it will come back, I hope...hugs, Marji

I remember the old sorting. It depends on the type of database, but they may just need to be turned back on. We can hope.
Hugs

I don't know when it changed but the date was used originally if you look at the very old posts. I quite like the time but as long as it was written as joyfrog says and not just numbers that would be fine as well. Jan

I don't know how hard it would be to program that kind of change, Brenda. But I have brought jofrog's suggestion to the top here, if we all just put the date at the beginning of our posts, it would be easy to track that way. Would need to remember to do it, that's the hard part, but maybe if we all tried real real hard? Hugs, Marji

Me too. Good idea.

10July2012-THANK YOU!! I have been asking if people would PLEASE do this, since all we see is when a question gets answered. Simple to do-Day-Month Year. Works for everyone.
As well as a name for what site, not just-New Freebie. A link can be posted inside the message, but some format to follow would be so nice.

thanks Sarah-just a silly thing but I think it would be easier than trying to figure out time wise-seems more accurate with a date

that might be interesting. we all use different date patterns around the world, don't we?
