It's hard to see the difference between "Oct 17" and "Oct '17"

[cochrane]

People have been complaining about this for several months.

Date posted is easily confused with year posted

I was going to post this earlier but didn’t in case it was just me. But then someone just bumped a thread by mistake from 2014 because they read “April '14” as “April 14”. Would it be hard to change it to a format like “April 2014” when it is more than a year old so that it is harder to make this mistake? I know I always have to look close for the apostrophe and now I know I am not alone in this.

Post date format

Could we change the date format on posts, please. It should show full day month and year. Preferably time, too. Here’s an example of the problem. This recently resurrected thread Someone explain Kent Hovind originally from 2010. Early posts are dated as Jun '10. Recent posts are dated as Jun 9 and Jun 10. It’s confusing. And let’s keep the month as a word, not a number. It avoids the usual ambiguity of day/month vs month/day.

No response on it, though.
