@UT: Well, when you put it that way, it sounds so cool.

Noboxes cracked me up :lol2:


ok but I like the ago too just because I can say, "oh look, so and so was here two days ago" or something like that. "Wonder how they are" The time stamp is visually annoying but I'll be able to tune it out and learn the new post function soon enough so that I no longer even notice.

Another "ago" vote - a vote for "ease of use". I wonder how many of the "timestamp" votes were really a vote for "I'm just used to seeing it that way" or "I don't like it when things change".

Well, since we've been using "ago" for quite some time now, voting for "date and time" would be a change. So I would say the answer to your question is zero.

:dedhorse:

The ones who get what they want are the ones who always say a dead horse is being beaten?

I mean, seriously, I conceded that I am probably not used to the time stamp thing. The thing that gets me is that Capn is annoyed because we are still discussing it.

Isn't that what you DO on a discussion board? Discuss?

Sheesh, you're happy with the outcome. If you don't want to hear the other points of view don't look at this thread.

Sorry, glatt, but have you read the comments in this thread like "i hated the ago right away" or "I admit to being nostalgic about the actual dating" or "It is what I have become accustomed to over the years" ??? (Hint: they totally contradict what you just said.)

I prefer timestamps because I can see with greater precision the space between the various posts. This is true for consecutive posts in a given thread, as well as posts across threads. It helps me track the conversations. By the way, I am an almost *exclusive* user of the "New Posts" button. I try to read all the current threads.

I noticed that before I logged in the time was an hour off the time here. Once I logged in it was my local time.

When it doesn't know who you are, it's set to Philadelphia time.

That, coupled with the fact that you have to log in to view New Posts, means that visitors or lurkers will be discouraged from using the site because it will be confusing for them to navigate. :2cents:

I'm going to log out and test the navigation confusion factor.

See you in a bit.

I am not annoyed at the continual disscusion. I am not even annoyed at the redundant recurrance of the same point post after post. The dead horse smilie was not aimed directly at this thread, nor a single member.

What annoys me is when someone is shallow enough to take a smilie and form an ultimate view of someone other than themselves. I'll use the goddam smilie as I wish.

And finally... if you don't like my comments on the disscusion, why don't YOU stop reading this thread?

Have a nice day. ;)

And what was your comment on the discussion ???

His comment was harsh. I feel so much better now.



redeemed even , let the devil be the devil. I am a good girl. :angel:
