    Huh, weird. It's possible that this is a result of different art programs storing different metadata. Or possibly the existence date is the creation of the file on the server, and the modification stamp is from editing before copying up. I'll have to look.

    EDIT: At least with the tools I have, the stamps are just from the filesystem, and not in the file contents. So it just shows the time at which I downloaded the image, say.

    Didn't that joke start with Microsoft in the first place?

    So it seems that the software has stopped translating times that things were posted into things like "40 minutes ago" and is now just the time/date.

    so the problem is this:

    If I don't set it to "absolute", it shows relative times, then exact times, then just dates. But I needed timestamps on old things. I might be able to make it do the relative times, but then stick with absolute forever on older things, but I'm not sure.

    What's the exact reason for this?

    Is there a way it could be a user-selectable option which one we use? I like having the "3 minutes ago" thing

    I don't see a way, without significant programming, it's just embedded in the template, so far as I can see. There might be plugins for it.

    Hmm. Maybe? I could look more.

    Is there a way to turn on extended reactions (agree, witnessed, etc.) for profile posts?
