h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

New to this Not even sure I am posting in the right place (Have had a look around and still not seen a request or reason why not) Is there any way that instead of 'POSTED 2hrs, 10hrs, yesterday, 1 week etc' that there is a way of displaying the time and date instead

Hello I don't think so, no - the researchers on hootoo come from so many different timezones that it would get a bit confusing any other way.

And I shouldn't worry about where to post - everyone does it If you do want a bit more in the way of response, though, the best place to do it is 'Ask H2G2'

That tends to be the place where you'll find the most people hanging around just waiting to pounce on new questions

Now you mention the time zone I hadn't really taken that into consideration ( As I mentioned I am still a newbie That should let me off a lot [hopefully] (but could they not put an indicator as to a)GMT +1 etc not unlike they do on e-mails)

Global positioning is something we've long dreamed about, but it remains just a dream for now. The '2 hours ago' method allows us to at least work on the same basis for now

(Oh, and welcome to h2g2!)
