I didn't put a (2020) in the submission title as the post was only created 6 days ago. Did I miss something here? I'm sure it was editorialised for a reason but I can't figure it out, sorry if I'm being stupid.
- soneca 6y agoAnd the post couldn’t be older since it has a photo from a satellite that was launched this year. My guess it is some automated task that got confused because the post is in a forum, not a regular blog post with a publishing date.
- themulticaster 6y agoI just created an account to tell you my guess: The timeline to the right of the post shows "Mar 20", for the 20th of March (2021). I think some moderator misunderstood that as March of 2020 and changed the title.
- 3JPLW 6y agoAs an administrator at Julia's discourse, I'd be really curious if this was the reason. Discourse's default "short date" format is super problematic. By default, they display something from 5 days ago as `Mar 20` and something from a year ago as `Mar '20`. We've changed that to have the year+ old posts display as `Mar 2020`, but maybe we should also change the recent display to be something different; maybe `20 Mar`? The UI doesn't give us too much space, unfortunately.
