Time stamps on postings 16/07/2011 at 07:09 #17774

In my set-up, each posting on the Forum is timed/dated as however many days hours and minutes ago. Can I change my setup to show the actual time/date of posting or is this format a system default?

It's the same on Safari under Mac OSX.

Changed the default to "today/yesterday" we'll need to wait another 24 hours to see that happens before yesterday!

No we don't all the old stuff's here too- and it gives the date so that's fine.

Thanks for the change. It is only my personal preference, so I do hope that the change isn't uncomfortable for other users of the Forum.

Are the forum times GMT rather than BST?
I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Not really hugely relevant to the topic but being in Asia the location in my profile is correct, (even get a link to a Google map when clicking on my location) and all times are local, i.e. GMT+8. Now I can't remember if I set this up manually when registering or if it is automatic via my IP address or even the clock on my computer, but either way the timestamps here are correct in local time.

Nothing really in this I know, just mentioning in passing...
