Is there a reason you need javascript to see the age of a post? Just noticed that the post age appears when you enable javascript on Poal. :P

People use Js to convert from a proper date to 'time ago' so they don't have to do this busy work on the server ever page load. SaidIt might do it too.

Ah, makes sense. Still, a date should still be visible even with JS disabled IMO. I don't need to be told it was minutes/hours ago, a date/time would be fine, just how I view my files. :)

I normally browse with SeaMonkey, and NoScript to the max. If I don't see a date, there's no way to tell if it's an old post or new. When I visit Phuks (rarely) for example, i only view the top 1-3 posts, and never pay attention to the older posts assuming they might be old news.
