    Silent, just shutup and stop stirring.
    You obviously don't give a f*** either way.

    OK, I'll spell it out real slow for you simple folk, seeing as no-one has yet answered my question:

    Why (you with me?) do you need to know (following?) how long ago the post was made (still there?). Why does anyone feel the need to work it out? Why do you care how long ago it was since userX posted? Why does it affect your life to know that the last post to thread y was 15 minutes ago (or 15 minutes from when you last refreshed your browser)?

    I'm not saying there is no reason, I just want to know what it is. That's all. Please? I'm dying to know. Not being sarcastic. Really

    G'day,

    I voted time elapsed because it affects my time in the house because I get less time in the shed.

    Thank you Big brother.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    When I was a lad back in the days when this site used to show the time of the post rather than the elapsed time, I didn't care that something was posted 15 minutes ago, 2 weeks ago or 2 months ago. Then one foul day they changed the forums to show the elapsed time. I still didn't care when a post was made. Then they changed it back to the date/time of the post and I still don't care that Waldo's post was made 7 minutes ago, 2 weeks ago or 2 months ago.

    I'm with Silent. Why does anyone care?

    There is no real reason, I just like it that way. Just like I (generally) prefer the colour blue to the colour red.

    Yup, you're right, I don't really care either way. Just wondered why others do. Looks like no-one really knows. Funny things, humans

    Doh !

    Looks like there are no major objections apart from Silent stirring rather than objecting so is the vote carried ?

    HH.
    Always look on the bright side...
