NYCPissBear Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Sorry if this question has already been asked and answered, but a week or so ago, I began to notice that forum posts no longer appear to have dates on them. Wondering whether I'm not looking in the right place, or if they've really disappeared; and if so, whether they can be restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators rawTOP Posted February 2, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Well, it's not a date exactly, but it tells you how long ago they were posted. And if it's long enough in the past, there's a date... I've checked and I see the same thing when logged in as a regular user (admins see different options for some things).

NYCPissBear Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 That's what I've been looking for, but this field does not appear on any thread that I access. There is no banner across the top of the entry containing a date, whether it's "1 Hour Ago" or a date months back...I can only see the date of the very first post in the index, and nothing more. Until about a week ago, that banner was there. While it's not a big deal, I like to know the dates of the posts, as I can't visit the site every day, and I don't want to lose time reading posts I've actually read before. Does anyone else experience this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungLatinDom Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 NYCPissBear: I see the dates fine. Have you tried to erase the cache for BZ? That might restore it. Let us know what browser you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCPissBear Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Somewhat technologically challenged here. How does one erase the cache? I'm using Microsoft Internet Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCPissBear Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Further to this, I've just tried the site with Mozilla Firefox, and the time stamp banners are present! Could it be an Explorer thing? I've had problems using Explorer on other websites, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be an Explorer thing? I've had problems using Explorer on other websites, too... I'm on Mac (no IE), and HungLatinDom is on Linux (also no IE). Next time I fire up my PC laptop I'll check it out (it's a piece of crap and takes forever to start up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungLatinDom Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just visited using IE 7, on my Virtual Machine, and I see the dates normally. What IE version do you have?Usually if you go to "options" or "preferences" in one of the menus, it offers the option to clear the cache.
