I would like to see the dates back in the forums…I don't know why the date the post was first written, nor when the first, and subsequent, answers were given, and because of that I don't see how you can follow a given flow through the responses.

    Are you not seeing the date currently? I just checked a few threads and see the dates of the posts. Now, anything posted today appears to only have the Time and anything posted on previous days has the Date without the Time.

    I'm not seeing the date anywhere as I look through the various posts.

    Posts from today do not show the date, only the time. Hover over the time to show the date/time.
    Posts older than today do not show the time, only the date. Hover over the date to show the date/time.

    Lists of discussions, on category pages for example, do not display the date and time information to simply the user interface.

    HOME PAGE: Today's stuff, I suppose. No date. No time.

    HOME PAGE: Yesterdays. One of mine: 'Quote Machine…' No date No time.

    I feel a sense of dislocation re this home page list. When is what? When does yesterday start as I go back in time?

    This is the same disaffection I get when I pull up a book list in the catalogue.

    The numbers orient me. Date + time in the forums. The number of books in my search of the catalogue.

    And y'all have created disharmony.

    Enough of dis-

    I'm trying to better understand the confusion so that we can improve this space for everyone. The homepage and the discussion threads do not have timestamps. The posts and comments themselves do.Are you requesting that we add timestamps throughout the discussion lists, forums, and homepage?

    Thank you!

    at Jason re: timestamps……The timestamp is my clock's time. This stamp is 1 more clue where I am. The homepage or list sorts more efficiently for me with a timestamp.

    I leave the list to do something necessitating a few hours. Or, I shut 'er down for the night. When I come back I check date/time to see where to restart. This is efficient for me.

    We are taught date + time at a young age till they are 1 micron away from being in our DNA. Time: work starts, planes leave, soccer games commence, 'pick me up at 8, and don't be late' [the Big Bopper].

    I figure you may have decided to give a cleaner look. Please consider reinstating timestamps.

    Thank you, Scooter. We'll consider adding timestamps to the homepage and post lists to help orient users.

    You know that physicists are coming around to the idea that time is only an illusion, right?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I'd like to see the full date and time everywhere it can be shown. If I'm searching for a solution to a problem and get dozens of results, it helps to know if the post is a few days, months or years old, without having to open each thread to determine that.

    Also, if I'm browsing through new posts, it useful to know the time to help determine if the post was before or after the last time I looked at the forums. If there's a thread in interested in, but I've already read the latest post, there's no point in me opening the thread.

    Showing both the date and time makes me more efficient.

    Yeah I vote for times and date everywhere possible. It provides better context markers, which are useful for peoples brains. When we get the confirmation that time is an illusion you can make a change to show random times, in order to better reflect reality.
