Could the date/time when a thread is started be automatically posted? Maybe a sort of time-stamp?

This could be placed right next to the person's name who started the thread?

 

It will show on the post. First day it will be x minutes or x hours ago. After 24 hours, it will show the actual date and time.

 

Well I feel like an idiot! I never noticed that. I saw the time stamp on posts to the threads, but I just didn't notice the time stamp for the original thread.

Thanks for pointing that out TomW.

 

Actually , it goes up to 24 hours , then it goes by days , up to 7 days , then it goes by weeks , up to 4 weeks , THEN it will show the actual date a thread was posted.

 

I can set it up either way. I suppose we could start a poll to see what people like best. I like the way it is now, but I don't like the fact that it goes for so long. Maybe something like today and yesterday and then after that, it posts the date instead. I will have to do some research on that.

 

I like that idea, Jack.

 

YES, I like that way too!

 

Or maybe some type of symbol (when I'm logged on) that will show that I responded to that thread already.

Sometimes I like to "surf" the new threads, but I'm only interested in the ones I responded to previously.

I hope that made sense.

 

The forum software does that.

Look along the left hand column in list of threads.

If you HAVE replied to a thread you will see this :

If you have NOT replied you will see this :

Also, when viewing the list of threads scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. You will see a box with the thread symbols and their meanings.

Great idea Jack. I like it too. I'll even give it 2 thumbs up .

 

I changed it. We'll see how it goes. Let me know if you guys like it this way better.

 

I never checked the symbols. Now I get it. Thanks for the help!

 

That was the first thing I noticed this morning when I logged on, it looks great.
I like this way better!

That's the way I have it set. Works well that way.
