Post time and dates

Is it possible to put the time and dates on each post within the topic, I'm new to the forum and when I was reading through the back posts there's some with comments that were written a year after the original post but you can't tell when anything was written, very frustrating.
Unless there's a setting someplace I've not found yet?
Or maybe it's just my android phone?

Thanks,

Richard

    Hey @FedUpandSad Could you let us know what device and app you use to access the internet? While post time and date appear on a computer we know some mobile devices do and some mobile devices don't.

    Could you help us narrow down the issue and we can see if we can fix it?

    I use a desktop PC, but have just checked my android phone (I also believe this has been queried before as others have had difficulty).
    On my android phone, if it's a post made on the same day, then it shows the time. 
    If made on a previous day it shows month & date, but not the year. 
    If made in a previous year it shows the month & year.

    For me with my desktop and iPhone it’s the same as chiarieds. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    That is quite helpful, thank you chia. We know many of our users access our site via a mobile so we are hoping to improve access and information available for the site using one!

    I'm using a Samsung s20 ultra, chrome app.

    I only access the internet on a Samsung Galaxy j4 plus, an old phone now I think. Get time and date on the day and just the date after that.
    Wonder what else we possibly dont see on phones...

    I only use this old I phone 6s. I don’t use it as a phone at all as I never use make calls or take calls. So I only use this for Scope emails and other. 
    My bf has a old Sony it’s at least twenty years old. For phone calls. 
    I can see dates and times on the post list.

    I'm sorry. I should've asked before I shortened your name. It sounded nice in my head, but I still should've asked first.

    Edit: Also, thank you for the data and screenshots everyone. This is something we do hope to tackle as we know how important ease of use is.
