time of posts not shown anymore?

When a post was shown in a thread, it used to show time and date posted. Now it just shows the date. Is there anyway of getting the time stamp back?

I would like this to return also.

Hi @Cheeseplant , thanks for your suggestion. This is something that we are aware of and want to get back in place. I'm afraid we don't have a timeframe on this as there are other issues being tackled and investigated right now.

Ye made a balls of it really. Slow as a wet week too. The old saying " If it aint broken don't try to fix it " was never as appropriate.

If you are feeling adventurous there is a thread in Feedback with some custom CSS and JS that fixes this and other issues.

this post in particular contains CSS to add the date and time to all posts

Hi Mark, I posted this on the DIY thread but forgot to ask yourself - I've added another little bit at end

Something i've just read on one of the other Feedback threads just now has got me thinking.

Someone asked could the full date/time on posts be reinstated and Mark from Boards replied saying it's on their list but they haven't got around to it.

Now, I am not a web develeoper at all, I knew about CSS tangentially and knew briefly what it could do but never bothered with iot to improve sites to my liking - the past three weeks has changed that and the basics I've learned here are brilliant.

BUT, can anyone who knows explain to me if changing CSS individually, which we all have done can reinstate the full date/time on posts, does changing the css within boards have some massive timeline or backend delays that last three weeks and counting? Does it need to be approved by vanilla or what? Does boards not now have the ability to refine their own interface themselves? (via css)
