I gotta admit, though, that I kinda, um, well, hate the new relative time vs. the date feature. It's probably cuz I can't keep track of what day it is and I'm really bad at math, so saying somebody posted something 187 days ago won't help me know if they posted it before, during, or after a tiki event, for example - something which I enjoy knowing.

First off, thanks for being honest. I need honest feedback. I wasn't sure at first if I liked the relative dates either.

Relative dates are only displayed for the last 30 days. After that it reverts to the original date format.

I have only the relative date and it doesn't pop up with a real date when I hover.

On both Firefox and IE you can place your mouse cursor over the relative date and hold it there for a second ... the classic-style date will pop up.
