Re-Add Post Dates

[Jenny]

I know the whole 'only show the time the post was made' thing is to make the place look less dead, but seriously. Re-add the dates posts were made

"Today, 05:34 AM"
Is at the top left in the yellow bar of any post made, including date.

She was referring to the forumview template, not threadview.

That makes more sense, She didn't specify and I was praying it wasn't about threadview.

sigh

another pathetic thread by a pathetic member

 

[Jenny]

Not really. This is a legitament issue. I'm tired of accidently looking at old stuff solely because the dates were removed. I've never ever ever seen a forum do this. It's more frustrating than it is helpful.

Also - butthurt because I pointed out that you called yourself a fag?

Please use the 'New Posts' option in the yellow nav bar. This will show all the posts that you've yet to view.

 

[Demon Child]

You could also just scroll to the bottom and see all the new posts made by people to, but you're probably to lazy to do that. <3

 

[Jenny]

'New Posts' goes for all sections and I only care about 2 sections. I'd rather not sift through garbage because you for some whacky reason felt like removing the dates..

So how dead is this place then? It gets a ton of guest, what's up with that then?

 

[Demon Child]

I don't know, I remember cort telling me who all the visitors were. But I think it's like google and all the sponsers not 100% though.

The guests are caused by a bug. However I agree with the topicmaker. What was the purpose of removing the date? Boredom?

Make the place look more active maybe, I know alot of people who look at the post dates and if it's to old won't even go into that area, this way people go look at most of the shit that's in the forum without realizing how old it is.

Keeps for more activity I suppose.

 

[Lizardbreath]

Well if that's the case then let it be for a bit...We will see what happens.

The guests aren't caused by a bug, the majority are bots indexing and page ranking Battleforums, while some actually are legitimate guests.

The bots = a bug because they aren't real guests....just a program.

 

[ST]

Sorry, but that's not a bug.

 

[Lizardbreath]

If it shows non-real users as real users then it's a bug.

 

[ST]

vB developers attempt to correct all bugs as soon as possible. This is part of the reason the software is fairly expensive.

Bots showing up as guests is common to all forum software systems. If this were a bug and actually classified as so, the bots would be differentiated from guests in forum statistics, not only in vB, but other forum software.

 

[Lizardbreath]

Well if that was the case then they should list them as Non-guest users. It's a bug in the essence that it isn't telling the truth between what is and isn't a real member. That is a failure of the program.
