| Mar 21, 2013 at 11:06 | comment | added | TRiG | "1st Mar 2010 at 20:48" would be my preferred style for English flow. Why do you say it would feel odd to you? Surely that's the standard format in most varieties of English? | |
| Mar 9, 2011 at 5:42 | comment | added | Jeroen Wiert Pluimers | I'd favour "answered 2010-01-26 at 7:03" (luckily times on SO/SE are already in 24 hour format), but "answered jan 26 2010 at 7:03" would do for now. BTW: I know you can hover with your mouse over a date to get it in UTC (Zulu time), but that requires a manual intervention for each timestamp you are interested in. | |
| Mar 8, 2011 at 22:01 | comment | added | Arjan | To me, "answered jan 26 '10 at 7:03" is even more a fragment of a sentence than the examples I gave, @Jeroen. (I mean: "answered 26-01-2010" or "answered 2010-01-26" would be far worse for display purposes, though that does not seem to be what you're asking for.) | |

| Mar 8, 2011 at 21:49 | comment | added | Jeroen Wiert Pluimers | The format I see, is at each "answered" post not phrased like "answered ## hours ago" or "answered ## minutes ago". | |
