Solved How do you tell the age of a post?

[Mrs. K]

My morning feed has old as in years ago posts. AArt - you seem to be able to tell at a glance. How do you do it?

Just below the name of the post is a time or date. This date or time is when the thread was first started.

Different devices or operating systems may do it different ways. On my desktop monitor, the age of the post is in the top line of the post, in the upper left above the avatar. Right now yours is saying 10 minutes ago.

The date immediately under the screen name and any title is the day the person joined the forum.

If using a desktop/laptop, on the forum page itself the date of original post is shown under the title, next to OP's name. That's mainly how I'm deciding what to read.

On my phone I don't see the date until I open the thread. It is different on my laptop.

Interestingly the new "similar threads" section is loaded with old threads (as I expected it would be).

I think we may see many getting revived by folks not realizing it is ancient.

On my phone, it's listed at the very top of the post (Android).

I think we may see many getting revived by folks nor realizing it is ancient.

Maybe a result of the recent update?

I think it was part of the recent update.
I recall vaguely reading something about it being a new feature.

I can foresee a deluge of resurrected threads....

We're already in the deluge. I've stopped clicking on threads more than a year old unless I'm already watching it or get tagged.
