One reason is precisely that to which you refer : having to look at number and figuring out.
Ex : posted 23 days ago vs an exact date. Is this "4 month ago" was posted before or after the release of June 13, 2014 ? Etc...

Twitter, Facebook and many popular sites use it today. My blog focuses on translating EVE related English stuff (mainly dev forum posts and dev blogs) into Japanese and when doing so I always include the original time stamp. I must say that I've come to find hovering over "time ago" each time I check date/time posted fairly bothersome. Rare case, I know but might as well have my voice heard.
It would be really nice if you could choose what to show from UTC (EVE time) / local time / relative time.
On a side note, please add "jump to first unread" button. |

Hey all,
I agree with the social media functionality you're going for, and the influences. mobile is definitely a thing.
Something I've always had difficulty with at the bottom of forum pages is navigating back to a section (such as EVE Information Portal). Specifically, clicking the section I'm currently browsing from the drop-down like this is unresponsive, and getting back to an overview of the section takes several actions such as using the Top button then selecting "EVE Information Portal" from the forum tree, or hitting back a few times... but I think you meant for the navigation function to be there in the drop-down.
o/
any chance you might include a "Post to Twitter" button? Could see that getting used, and not just by Dev types.

Let's seeif that works ... it does. Do you see the missing space between "see" and "if"? These are 2 links and in the text editor I have a normal space between the two words, however, in the actual post, this space is removed for some reason. Only if I put a non-breaking space (Alt + 0160) in between the 2 links, the space appears (even 2 normal spaces are ignored). Only if I include the space in the url-tag, the normal space shows. |

Why is the short-cut link to the Devblog page hidden inside the Character dropdown menu? This doesn't make much sense to me and I was spending some time searching for it. I'd suggest this item to show up either as a tab next to DEV POSTS or in the EVE Universe dropdown.
Cheers, Chira.

I find it easier to read the date because it gives me an idea when it was made during the day. If a post was made on afternoon it can be easily seen from the timestamp rather than working out what the time was 17 hours ago.
If I leave the house for 8 hours at 0800 and start reading the posts at 1600 the relative time doesn't still give me any additional information. If the timestamp is on my regional time or at least some easy to convert such as the UTC, the about 8 hours is as accurate as the hour where I dropped off reading. I can just start reading the posts made after 8 whereas with the relative time I need to guess how the time gets rounded and work from there.
Even further, should someone want to archive a post by screencapping, a solid date is way more convenient than "4 hours ago".
The relative time from post is great, but only for a few hours. After that it the convenience is lost. |

This is just my personal opinion but...
"[x] [timeunit] ago" is to me a very imprecise way of displaying data that by nature is accurate. I get the impression that the entity to whom the forum (or whatever) software belongs to doesn't really care for their customers. They're doing their work halfheartedly.
Twitter and Facebook are popular yes, but is the reason for their popularity the way they display timestamps? I don't think so.
How about this. Make a configuration option where the forum user can choose which way of presenting time is their preferred one a use that for the 'always shown' timestamp and use the other way for the tooltip. How does that sound?

How does that sound? Edit: After reading a few more posts in the thread I noticed this: "Posted: a day ago" That made me go LOL. As far as I understand English language that alone is a rather vague time period. It can be used for a 12 hour period (for example from dawn till dusk) or for a 24 hour period. So when it says posted about a day ago what does that mean? 8 hour ago? 12 hours ago? 17 hours ago? 21 hours ago? 26 hours ago? What? This really is a bad way of displaying time. Please give us a choice to use the precise timestamp, thanks.
On a forum where I have yet to discover a way to set the timezone for myself I kind of like this better. In EVE I have no problem working with EVE time. On a forum it's a different story.

Nice upgrade to forums. Now GM, CSM and ISD badges are working.
I'm still missing CSM and ISD badges at forum headline page. I could immediately see where CSM and ISD have made comments.
There could also be option to view DEV, GM, CSM and ISD posts in one row. Now I need to view them separately.
There could also be dislike button. You should keep likes and dislikes separate numbers. If someone raises lots of good and bad feelings in people receive lots of like and lots of dislikes. End result is not zero.
Allow placing likes (and dislikes) in closed thread.
Place bounty button would be nice in forums!
I have noticed that date and time has been removed and instead there is "3 days ago" or "7 months ago" type of marking. Could date and time be displayed after this "3 days ago" type of marking?
ISD and CSM badges could have different background color.

A quick look at this forum software's feature page reveals that enabling this would quite litteraly be a matter of flipping a switch. And maybe editing the settings page a bit. Seriously though, I have no clue why they can't just enable timezones. I don't mind the relative time either, but if it's already available why not turn it on?

Keeping everyone's head in the same time zone is keeping their head in EVE.

Yes we know that and it's a ridiculous way to do it.
The actual time should be the default with the ultra-vague "about x minutes/hours/days ago" in the tooltip.
Have you noticed that the actual time is displayed when you click 'quote'? That alone shows that they understand its relevance and yet choose to ignore it for general use just because of a silly fashion used by frivolous social media sites. |

What I'd like to know is why the Eve Online Community wasn't consulted first before this timestamp change? Just because you like it doesn't mean the Eve Online Community will like it, which has pretty much been proven with multiple replies posted in this thread.
Just a little heads up, most players here don't want a rough idea or estimate of when something happened, we want to know exact details, time and date. As someone else already pointed out about the timeago - it's very misleading and doesn't equate into the same meaning for everyone. Hell, 'a month ago' could be 28 days, 30 days or 32 days. That's a 4 day difference which gets larger as more time passes.
Just because Twitter, Facebook and some other sites use it doesn't mean Eve should use it. That's what made Eve Online great, it was different from all the other sites. Gotta say reading the 'Timeago' stamp seems like CCP is regarding the player base as children. Like when a child asks 'when' and the parents reply 'soon' or 'in a while'.
Bottom line - the 'Timeago' stamp is insulting and demeaning to the intellect of the player base.
