Change post time display

[Darkwolf71]

It seems that with the last upgrade the 'time of post' markers were changed from showing the actual time/date to showing 'xx minutes ago'. I've gone through my account settings but can't find an option to change it. Am I missing something? If not can we please have the option? I greatly dislike this change.

I must say, I too dislike this change. But it's not such a big deal, and will prolly just require some time to get used to.

Yet another here who would like to know how to change it.

I came here looking for the answer to this exact question.

I'd also like to change this back to the way it was.

I don't think there's a control for it, but I'm learning the software changes after upgrade at the same time you do. If you spot a control, be sure to let us know here so other people can use it.

I remember some years ago a switch was used to provide relative posting date/time like this, and we switched it off again as the majority of people didn't like it. It might also provide some additional unwanted processor/database work since it makes a calculation for every date rather than just displaying it.

Keep those eyes peeled!

This seem like the case as the boards seem way slower after the change. I am wondering if it isn't due to exactly that issue of extra calcuation being required.

I really like the relative dates, but is there a setting for the absolute dates to be in American format rather than British? Im not trying to impose on everyone, I'm just wondering if there is an individual setting buried in the program somewhere.

Any word on this problem?
