Stupid Southern Mississippi.

I'm going to attack you with off-topicness:

Why aren't there dates/x hours ago for posts? I kind of like not having the times on my feed but at the same time it makes it hard to determine when things were posted if I'm hubstalking someone.

Ooh, I like hubstalking. :) Right now the time is in the preview, which you can see if you click on the arrows. But I am open to ideas. I was playing around with some alternate formats today, actually.

Ohhhhh. Sweet. I would like once a post is a couple days old, put the "posted 4 days ago" or whatever up in the top line. This way the first page of the feed is clean and we all know they are all new anyways. But when I travel into page 6 of my feed, I know when I'm looking at instantly. Same for when I visit someones hub.

I didn't put red annotations all over it, but I'm sure you can figure it out. Top and bottom is what it is now. The middle looks sweet.

edited for completion of thoughts.

That sounds like a reasonable thing to me. I agree it's useful for old posts. I'll probably work the date in for older posts in my next format update.

Thanks.

d20 was not the only one that picked Southern Mississippi. :)
