Now that SE23.life is over a year old, I’ve identified a possible problem with dates. As in there is no year indication for posts over a year old. I was just reading something from May 19 thinking it a couple of week’s old. It was over a year.
Is this something to address?
I see year dates. Anything older than a month has the month and year, on the threads I’m looking at. So a post from May 2016 would say May '16 beside it. I think, unless I’m reading it wrong…
Oh lord. You’re right. I actually saw May '16 and thought that was May 16th. Time for dinner and beer.

It’s definitely something I’d like to address.
Some topics are timeless (like the cats, dogs and personal intro topics, for example) - others have very short-term reach.
I have set up the #events and #wanted-offered categories to auto-close topics when their last reply is two months ago. I can do something similar (maybe six months?) for other categories if people think this is a good idea.
Members would still be able to reply to a closed topic, but would need to reply as a new linked topic.
Also worth us all including the year in our date titles so they “archive” more neatly.
Well, if my baseless rushed note comes to some good then I’ll be happy.

Once you haven’t seen a date fior a year it’s probably not worth pursuing it anymore
