timestamps

It may be useful for readers if writers were to embed a date and time in comments, instead of "this week", "next month", "later this afternoon", etc. Include time zone as well (CST, PDT); but, if you're handy with arithmetic, or if you don't want any clues regarding your longitude, use GMT/CUT...and note accordingly. Unless these comments actually are timestamped and I'm unaware of the reveal, or perhaps doing so violates some nonobvious (to me) and unwritten site rule. A timeline is handy when "management" is floundering more than usual, amputating the more essential limbs if not organs in their panic, so the casual observer can better see how bravely they shoulder aside the women and children in their rush to the metaphorical lifeboats. 1715 CST Jun 22 2018. See? Very easy.

Would make more sense if the app on this site time stamped. # of hours or days ago not all that useful.

If you put a cursor over a time stamp it gives you the time and date. Think it's UTC time.

Sorry. It's CDT, not CST. It's hard to poke out text messages when you do not have a pointy enough index finger. Evolution in action. 1735 CDT 22 Jun 2018
