If I am looking at the boards at 8 am, surely anything older than 8 hours ago qualifies as "yesterday". So how come Genes think that anything more than 11 hours ago is "yesterday".
Much better when the actual posting time was shown. I am aware that European time is ahead of the UK & have never had a problem making the adjustment. Now I can´t make head or tail of it.

In the scheme of things does it matter ?

If you wan't to add to a thread, who cares what time the last person posted :o))

Those posts with minutes & hours are more recent than yesterday posts. Be it by a couple of minutes or hours.
Many times the front page doesn't move much in the night & morning, So those posts can be classed as recent or fairly recent.

Quite often I've brought a thread back from the day before, as I've been away from GR for a bit & not seen the thread when newly posted.

If I want to add to a thread, regardless of what time it says....I will :o))))
