To whoever runs this site: I am a visitor to your website, and the thing I find most annoying is that all messages do not have a date.

Date time group, sounds military.

I have noted that the date and time do come up briefly before minutes, hours, days, months is displayed.

Can this be changed or is it a default setting Gavin??

If you hover your mouse over the "37 minutes ago" etc. you'll see the real date as a tooltip popup.

There is a setting to use normal dates and times instead of "relative" times. If enough people ask for it I'll happily change it. Speak up if you want to keep it as it is or change it to dates and times.

Maybe this viewer is just having trouble identifying posts he has not read
since his last visit.

Gavin - tell him that if he has any complaints then to do better himself!

As far as I am concerned I really dont give a hoot - its a great site and I look at it from the positives...come to think of it I didnt think there were any negatives - maybe when this guy is as old as me then he will realise that time and date are not important...in fact the only two dates which I ever find important are my birthday and Christmas day!

Cheers - figured I'd put it forward for the group anyway just in case it's something the peeves others off too. Constructive criticism's always welcome.

Did a quick Google of mike0077 - guess the DTG comes from his time playing 1st person shooters, or I could be wrong and it's from Cougar Passions :P

Anyway - welcome to the forums Mike, nice introductory post - doubt you'll find any cougars here but you'll find some gold diggers ;)

Yep, nice introductory post Mike.

Did you sue the charm school?



My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

You would make a good detective Gavin - as for cougar passions I noted that he was into 'recreational smoking' - now that could account for his interesting introductory comment - most likely away in fairland when he wrote it.
