    I would like to print a few posts. On most forums, the date of the post appears at the beginning or end of the post so you have a time frame reference.

    However, the date/time on posts on this forum now appear like "Yesterday at hh:mm" or some other relative reference for the date. Can you change the format to display the calendar date, too?

    Straight forward date and time is much easier.

    Agreed, the common format for date and time is sufficient. It almost seems funny to be asking for such obvious info.

    Any date further back than yesterday shows the regular date format.

    And if you hover your mouse over the "Yesterday at xx:xxPM" format for a second or two, it will pop up a little notice showing the full date and time.

    And even if you were to print a post from today or yesterday, your computer will show the URL and full date/time that you printed it at the very bottom of the page, which will give you a reference for any "15 minutes ago" posts on the page.

    Thanks Baron.
    I wasn't aware of the mouse over.
    Makes it somewhat easier.
