Re: When did the OP begin the conversation?

Wait.  I think I understand.  When we click on a forum, we see a list of threads.  In the rightmost part of the thread info we see only the date/time of the last post and the name of the person who created that post (which allows us to click on the date/time there and go directly to the last post, by the way).

 

However, we don't see (in that list of threads) the date/time of the original post.

 

I don't know anything about the software used for these forums, but perhaps they can add that.  The problem they face is cluttering up the screen with too many pieces of information.


Maybe so.  Funny thing is, all that information was there on the old forum.  Wonder what made it disappear on this one?  Oh well....


 

It's the layout of the list of threads.  I've been playing around with different settings, and there's one which shows the date/time of the original post...  but it also shows a "family tree" style list of the responses beneath it.   Not a good look!

 

This current layout uses so much open space but doesn't allow as much info into those spaces.  Perhaps with enough suggestions, they'll make changes.

doobdoo, thank you for the tip on "unchecking 'use relative dates'."   It worked and now I can see a date and time of the OP's post, like we had before.  Thank you so much.
