Ask HN: What's up with the date stamp changes?

1 point by cdvonstinkpot 7 years ago | 0 comments
Today I noticed the 'days ago' date stamp has changed to 'long date' on user profiles. And on users' 'favorites' they use 'long date', but my own still use 'days ago'. As do submissions.

Why change after so long, & why not uniform?
