    Small "Quoted Post" Change Request

    When we quote a post, can we have the data and time of the quoted post displayed after the member's name, e.g.:

    ...would be changed to:

    At the moment, a post from days, weeks or months ago can be quoted and implied to be current. Adding the date and time gives the quoted post some context, and makes it easier to find without using the 'trackback' link currently positioned just after the name.

    Also, there is enough room to add the date and time after the name without creating another line, and it doesn't have to be bold. It could even be a dim colour - like this - so it is not obtrusive. But I'm sure it would be useful.

    People would only ignore them.

    tho I agree with RDN - cos ppl aint gonna change them all of the time - onyl when dey being funny etc! so most quotes would have correct dates and times on them, .... worth a try no?

    It really wouldn't be worth it, we have too many Aussies on the board.
