Time stamp on posts (complaint)

You opened your yapper and caused this?

It's awful, I don't like it.

So you're wrong.

Or at the very least, give us a choice between the two. It shouldn't be that hard, I know that phpBB used to give people dozens of different options for time format.

Then again, phpBB rules and vB drools.

Agreed. It's crap. (out of rep)

Love it. It's the awesomest!

NO!

Muuuch better.

Thanks to whomever implemented it.

Ok, whats the deal... WHy do you and diac have such a big problem with the new system?

I love the new way. Put back the old way.

I love the new way. It's much easier to keep track of what's new and what's from when.

I insist that the timestamp be based on the Chinese calendar. Year six thousand something, year of the rat.

Close enough.

Oh yeah? Well I insist that the timestamp be based on Venusian decimal time.

Don't like the new timestamp. The change seems kind of arbitrary and annoying to me, though I expect people, myself included, will get used to it easily enough. Feh.

Booo!

Why can't I change it back?

When did we vote on this?

What does Elwood think of it?

New way sux0rz.

Feh.

Edited for accuracy.

When did we become a democracy?

Who knew people were so invested in a timestamp. Still no reason why the haters are so put out though. I'd love to hear the problem because all I can muster up is a vague sense of apathy.

No offense intended...I am just suffering from a case of consternation here.

I have to agree with Tamar...this isn't shitstorm worthy. Trust me. I'm a lawyer.

I like it. So much easier.

My thanks to whoever.

The day phpBB becomes even remotely secure is the day Britney Spears can actually put on a pair of panties and keep her fucking legs shut.

EDIT-
Nevermind.

I never said we were a democracy. That's why I asked what Elwood thought.

Don't pull this crap on me.

I just think it looks cluttered and crappy.




Alternately....I fear change.

I made a post about this somewhere.

I have no idea where it's gone.

Please redirect it if you find it in some other random thread, thankyou!

Edit: I found my post! HERE

Yay.

The haters are math challenged, I think. They can't tell that your post preceded mine by 9 hours and 31 minutes.

So it's time stamps this week, is it?

There's 3 ways to have timestamps easily:

1. The way it is now.
2. The way it was before.
3. Completely absolute timestamps. This one is configurable, but you lose today, yesterday, 1 minute ago, etc.

I can look into hacking it for both, but that's not likely to be simple or having results quickly forthcoming.

I'd forgot about this thread until NAHTMMM commented on my post.

But hey, I got it changed! Imagine that! Cool, and Thanks guys.

Why don't we leave things as they are for now? We had the other kind for a few years, let's give this kind a try. If, say, in January 2009, people still don't like it, then figure out how to hack the board to borgsian proportions.

I demand that my timestamps be in Roman numerals. "I last posted XLVIII minutes ago" and like that.
