Date comps were posted?

I maybe being a little dim here but how do you see what date something was posted originally? Often I have to skip a day then cover a few and I now can only see the times something was posted!! It's really confusing?

    I always had the old forum sorted by date a comp was originally posted. I always do the comps strictly on that basis - keeping a written note of the last competition I have done. I suspect a lot of members do it like that instead of waiting for the end date. Like the original poster how do we sort the board by date posted ??

    Where only a time is shown it was posted today. Posts before today show Month and Date.

    There's been quite a lot of posts today (I guess 'cause the forum was closed yesterday), so you'll need to go to page 10ish to see the date (ie, posts from yesterday)

    If you hover your cursor over, a time on a current day post, or the Month/Date on previous days posts, it will bring up the full Month/Day/Year/Time
  • Thanks! Hover isn't so great on a mobile devices! I normally don't sort by newly posted as you used to miss things that were bumped but on the old forum you could see date the original post was when scrolling. I think I may have to sort by newly posted this forum.
