It's strange, and I guess I could get used to it if I had to, but I'm used to the more recent posts having "about an hour ago" or "1 day ago" instead of the precise date and minute (and second!) when they were posted. Is this happening for anyone else? Any way to switch back?
They're also displaying as month-day-year, when I have day-month-year marked down as a preference in my personal settings. Again, more just annoying than harmful, but annoying is still annoying.
And I also don't have the toolbar (for things like links and video embeds) when I do a full reply or edit a post. WTF is going on here? I didn't change anything, at least not before today (I've flipped a couple of switches today trying to change it bck).

i have noticed that, when a forum's page loads in (e.g., pg 1 of the womens vb forum), the timestamps are initally as you describe. but if i wait a couple seconds or so, they switch over to what we're used to -- e.g., "59 minutes ago". don't have an answer for you, just sharing what i see on my laptop.
i have noticed another anomaly, though. there are times when i go to pg 2 of the womens forum, view a post, and when i return to "pg 2" it is not the same list as what was there before i went to the post. but when i refresh the page, it's back to what i initially saw when i first arrived at the page. it's easy to work around this, but it's marginally annoying. fyi, using chrome on a windows 7 machine.
most every thing new has bugs, i guess...

Yeah, I've noticed that before, but now for me the painstakingly exact timestamps are always there on every post. For instance yours says "Jul 17, 2013 9:04:10 GMT -7 " and I've been on this page for the better part of a minute, typing this post.

And now all of these issues have corrected themselves. Hunh. Guess it was just a temporary glitch (thought not THAT temporary, it lasted several hours). Ah well, so much the better then.

Now it's happening again. Lack of toolbar in the full reply/edit window as well.

When I first load a page from this site, it loads with the actual time stamps. Then it changes to messages like "about an hour ago". When I look at the source, I see it uses an HTML tag that looks like this: <abbr data-timestamp="1374074782000" class="time" title="Jul 17, 2013 8:26:22 GMT -7">
I believe the switch from displaying the absolute time stamp to displaying the relative time stamp is something that happening (or not happening) in your own browser, rather than something the site is doing.
[OK, a bit more poking around and I believe it is some kind of javascript code. Your browser loads it as a script and it runs on the client side.]

And now it's happening again. God I wish I knew what caused this. Hopefully it'll go away within a few days like it has when it's happened in the past.
