Seeing as how SO's one year anniversary is coming soon, question and answer dates are going to need to display the year.

3They're probably holding off on it until it's absolutely necessary. Remember with the bounty system, they didn't code the seven-day auto-accept until a couple of days after they rolled out the bounty system itself.– mmyersCommented Jun 30, 2009 at 20:26

If you hover the tool tip does show the year.
Currently in the non-tool tip display it displays:
- seconds ago
- minutes ago
- hours ago
- yesterday
- Month Day at Time
I believe it would be good to show: DD/MM/YYYY (or some variant thereof) after the question is a year old.

So it does. The information is there, they just haven't made it very visible yet.– mmyersCommented Jun 30, 2009 at 20:29

2Nice. Now if only the date format was something sensible... Personally I'd like 30.6.2009 23:35 UTC, but ISO 8601 (2009-06-30) would be fine too.– JonikCommented Jun 30, 2009 at 20:38
This is already implemented. I should have searched uservoice first.

How do you know it just doesn't hide the year if it is in the same year as the question anyway?
I would say:
- Relative times (5 minutes 28 seconds ago) for questions under x-minutes
- HH:MM:SS questions within 24 hours
And full dates beyond that.
