I'm going to attack you with off-topicness:

Why aren't there dates/x hours ago for posts? I kind of like not having the times on my feed but at the same time it makes it hard to determine when things were posted if I'm hubstalking someone.

Ooh, I like hubstalking. :) Right now the time is in the preview, which you can see if you click on the arrows. But I am open to ideas. I was playing around with some alternate formats today, actually.

Ohhhhh. Sweet. I would like once a post is a couple days old, put the "posted 4 days ago" or whatever up in the top line. This way the first page of the feed is clean and we all know they are all new anyways. But when I travel into page 6 of my feed, I know when I'm looking at instantly. Same for when I visit someones hub.

I didn't put red annotations all over it, but I'm sure you can figure it out. Top and bottom is what it is now. The middle looks sweet.

That sounds like a reasonable thing to me. I agree it's useful for old posts. I'll probably work the date in for older posts in my next format update.

Thanks.
