Where did the dates/times go?

What happened to the date/time stamp in the right-hand column of the forums and topic lists? You used to be able to see how long ago someone posted.

If you hover over the "X hours ago" link, you'll see the exact date/time of a post.

Yes, but you used to be able to see how long ago the last post on a topic was on the main forum page instead of clicking through on a particular topic before you could see that info.  I found it useful to know at a glance which forum areas to look at for fresh info and posts.

Yes, this.

Oh, I don't remember seeing that, but who knows, the brain isn't working that well these days :-)

I just use the Unread feature to keep up with all the latest posts, so I've never been concerned about the posting dates.

Hopefully they bring it back. Annoying.

I also used that feature and hope it comes back.

Mie is asking the developers about it, because he and I use the feature a lot.

I hope you were thanking the GenCon employees who resolved it and not me.  I’m just a forum user like you.  I posted cause I noticed the dates were back and remembered this thread.

Big thank you to the people responsible for bringing this feature back. It's one of those little things that you never think about, but you definitely notice when it's gone.

You guys were actually right.  Having the info there is much nicer.  I just never realized it was gone.  So much for keen observation....

Looks like the "time since last post" feature is gone again on the main page?  I hope it can be brought back again, it's my go-to for checking back quickly on the site.  Thanks!

Never mind, now they are back.  Not sure what happened there, but glad to see them!
