Dang (or whoever is minding the store right now): A minor concern, but something is wrong with the time on comments:
* I posted the parent comment yesterday
* Currently, it says "2 hours ago"
* If I click "2 hours ago", the new page still says "2 hours ago"
* If I click "reply", the new page says "22 hours ago", which seems plausible.
- mikeyouse 11y agoIn some cases, articles that the HN staff find interesting are reposted at a later date if they don't 'connect' the first time around.
- dang 11y agoIt's because of the experiment I described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10537417 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10537417. Not sure what to do about this. I suppose we can make the older comments keep their original timestamps and just be older than the timestamp at the top. That already happens when we merge threads anyway.
