How about recording two dates on the post, the original post date and the re-upped date, and then putting something like "14 hours ago; originally 2 days ago" in the post header?
- simoncion 10mo agoHow about simply not tampering with the date on the post? The most I imagine most folks saying is "Didn't I see this post on the front page days ago?". For many other discussion fora, it's not uncommon for posts to be at the top of the pile for many days... so a days-old post date should be nothing unusual.
- dang 10mo agoThat's exactly what we tried and didn't work. The amount of noise it generated was vastly greater than the noise the status quo generates, unsatisfactory though it is.
- gnabgib 10mo agoYou already get that, if you hover over the submission time (it'll show the original submission time - days ago, while displaying "1 hour ago")
- skybrian 10mo agoIt seems too easy to miss.
