Oooer missus!
The great way this web portal ignores years seems not to have been fixed.

It's not the site Brian, it's the idiots who don't bother to read the top line
of every post where the date includes the year.

Where is the date, I only use this on uk.d-i-y and although it may be my
settings I do not see any date.

It says you're using Thunderbird like me (though it could be lying)

in which case there's a date only if it's not today.

BUT when I click reply it puts the full time and date as in

On the top line of every post on HomeOwnersHub site which 'borrows'
all our posts on uk.d-i-y ng and where people reply to posts from long
ago because they haven't checked the date. They've probably just searched
for 'stone chippings' and add their two penn'orth on the end.

Yes but the problem really is it seems unless I'm missing something that
posts from different years get bundled together in months a lot on that
site.
You are right though about unobservant sighties, I am blind but maybe
because I am blind I hear the year when I go to the link in the message
quite clearly. They seem now to be offering posting rights to unregistered
users so I suspect we will see an increase in this kind of problem.

I can hear it quite plainly. Maybe your browser is the issue .
I did look on both firefox and waterfox and its certainly on the web site
on both, just down a bit from where you arrive from clicking the link to the
post.

you have to click the link, nothing appears in the posts here since its just
an abstract, the site does not put the date in the feed to usenet in a
correct way. However my issue is with the site as the posts here that are
to old threads all come from the web portal not usenet. The date and year
are on the page, but sadly the way the site sorts stuff is, shall we be
charitable here, quirky.

it.

I don't know if you are able to killfile them Brian, I am able to because when
their posts appear in this ng their email contains @example.com, so I set
Pan to ignore all posts with that in. I only see them when you or others
reply to them or comment on their irrelevance.
