Sometimes if you mouseover the vague time stamp you’ll get an ISO time stamp pop up. Doesn’t help if you’re on your phone, of course.
I gotta say though, personally I can never remember what day of the month it is, so having it say “X days ago” is a big help to me.
- Larrikin 3y agoIs there anytime where you would be seeing a comment's timestamp on a device where the actual date isn't visible also or a single swipe away? I rarely remember the date offhand but whenever I need to care I have two devices on my body and another four or five devices within feet of me with the date down the second.
- dave4420 3y agoNo. But it’s easier not to have to. When I do need an exact time stamp, it’s easy enough to mouseover.
- add-sub-mul-div 3y agoIt also doesn't help if you're looking at a screen shot.
- qwery 3y agoI was about halfway down a page literally filled with '2 weeks ago' issues, mousing over each one when I went and looked up the search syntax. Fun fact, I also found I couldn't select the whole info line (#issue date author) properly, no doubt due to some shenanigans with implementing the timestamp obfuscation system. In cases where I want to compare today/now with some event time, using a relative format makes a lot of sense.
