Include date and time of posting on forum
Jack Petty
Display the precise date and time the content was added when you hover over the time that has passed since posting.
ORIGINAL POST:
I prefer to have news, forum, and document pages show the absolute posting time (date, time) rather than the relative time (hours, days, months since the post). Could be implemented as a settable option at the site level.

Actual date and time for forum posts

When there are multiple posts at the same time, it can be very confusing when the actual date and time is not provided. I do not see why this is not the default behavior. Every system I can think of provides actual date and time, not just today, a week ago, etc.

I also agree that this would be of great benefit to users.

I agree 100%. What does “a month ago” etc. actually mean it doesn’t make sense not to provide a date stamp like other forums. Ours is fairly active and we can easily have 10 and up to 40 posts on a topic
Denise Richards
Using the exact date and time makes more sense. From that users can figure out how long ago that was…

Time and date stamp on forum posts

The "Forum" page type currently shows how long ago a post was added. Provide the ability to include more specific time and date stamps.
Marc Leone
agree as well, this would be a better way to review forum posts

Agreed! This would make reading posts much easier if the actual time and date was used rather than the current method.

This should be an automatic feature. I've had residents get upset that a function they attempted to participate in had past because they didn't notice how long ago the post was posted.
Jack Petty
Clever. Looks like news pages already do that so you are considering adding that function to forum and documents pages?
Meredith Owens
Jack Petty: Yes, we're considering including this on the other pages.
Meredith Owens
We've reviewed this request, and while we don't have plans to create a setting for this, we are open to displaying that information when you hover of the "since posting" date. Therefore, we've updated this request to align with what we're considering.
