At the top of a reply made yesterday, it says 31 December 2019 and not "yesterday at ......" Just wanted to point that out.

Well it never says yesterday to my knowledge because that's just inaccurate. Therefore it's a nice little feature and not a bug. YouTube uses that mentality.

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

Wait what! I thought it does always say that.

IIRC it usually says X amount of hours ago up until 24 hours, then it says the date for ones older than that.

 

[edit[] Actually I think you may be correct, I just looked at an older thread I go to often.. and now it only says the date, but when hovered over will say the actual time it was posted... i'm pretty sure it used to say the time and date without hovering [tooltips].

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

Yeah. Let's say i replied at X day. The next day it used to say "Posted yesterday at xx:xx". At least i think so.

Its the way forums software just works. When this happened first time, it was decided to be too minor thing to be worth of fixing.

Based on the code, this looks like an intentional design decision, and an arbitrary line does have to be drawn somewhere. I agree that there are better ways that it could have been done, but it isn't something that I will be able to change.

Also one more thing. When threads are moved from a subforum(whatever they're called) to another one, let's say from Off topic to Graphics Cards, the post counter still does not change.

The user's post counter? That's something where the complexity of trying to keep it up to date, and corresponding performance impact with large topics, just isn't worth it for having the post count slightly more accurate.

One would guess this is also a little bit a culprit:

 

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

Not willing to capitulate to the ignorance of the masses!

The forum doesn't use ISO weeks, or their related years, to calculate dates, so that isn't part of the issue here. For the people reporting this, it is actually 2021, and it's just displaying 2020 dates overly verbosely.
