Am I missing something, or do posts know longer show the date they were posted?
I think you’re missing something. I see it right above your name. “Today 10:22”
No, he’s not posting from the future. It says “Today, 01:22 AM”.
I don’t see that. Do I need to change something in my settings?
Depends on your time zone.
You, RK, if I remember, are in California(as am I) You posted your OP at 10:22 last night. For panache(in Ohio), it was at 1:22am this morning.
Posts always are “today”. The next day, it changes to “yesterday”. After that, you’ll see the actual date.
Wild guess: Are you using any zooming in your browser to increase the text size?
No zooming. And I don’t even see “today” or “yesterday” like I used to.
I suspect this is a stupid question, but since no one else seems to have a better solution; have you done anything to your display related to colours, high contrast, etc.? I ask because I see the date/time posted in light gray. I wonder if you could have made it invisible rather than really making it go away.
Not that I am aware of. And I can’t find anything in the setting edit page that might have caused it. You don’t suppose my screen is fading away, do you? It seems to be okay otherwise.
Oh, you know what? I went through a lot of ads and pointed them out to adblock to block them. Maybe the date got blocked as part of that mass blocking.
What do you see in the bar about the poster’s name? Do you see the icon for new/old post and blank after that, or is the entire gray bar missing? See the image here - what do you see where it says Today, 01:33 PM?
Try clicking in the “Guest” (or whatever title) under the user’s name, and drag up into the post above to select the text (see the image here). If you see the date after doing this, it indicates some issue with the styles or custom color scheme.
There is nothing above the poster’s name. I must have inadvertently told adblock to block it.
Do you see the gray bar? Do you see the new/old post icon (either a blu-gray or orange rectangle)?
No.
Try disabling Adblock temporarily (using its drop-down menu), refresh the screen, and see if you can see it.
Do you see the post number on the right, above the Join Date, and the “Report Post” red triangle?
Yeah, the AdBlock thing sounds likely if you were hiding page elements.
Yeah, that’s the problem, but now I can’t figure how to tell AdBlock to let me have it back.
No. He’s in a different time zone. :rolleyes:
There used to be an Undo most recent block type of option, but I don’t see it anymore. So you’d just have to go through your list of filters and delete the ones that start with “boards.straightdope.com” and remove them until you find the one removing the date.
