Not only does our avatar state what date we joined, but also what time we joined? I think I might need my tinfoil hat…
Virginia Woolf is one of the screensavers on Amazon Kindles.
Admit it: you’re just crying Woolf.
Who’s afraid of "Virginia Woolf?

Never did get that trip to the bloody lighthouse… 
I think Nicole Kidman did a better job than Virginia Stephen.
Yes, Virginia, there really is a Kindle and you’re mug is up on it, Girlfriend.
Sorry Dale but I hope you’ve got plenty of cash and a nice view from your wee room if you’re going to write such fiction…
(Hmm, can I join the literary bores club now please? 
)
You notice that no one has said a thing about what I originally posted. I think you’re all trying to punish me for all those threads I hijacked.
There should be…she’s, like, way awesome! 
So, you are liking your Kindle?
She’s trying to trick me into publicly admitting that I would buy a Kindle.
Nice try Izz! 
Drat…next time I should really attempt such things after coffee.
If ya want…
Some twit decided that we needed to see the time
The twit that designed the database needed to capture the time (as well as the date) in order to order the users in the order in which they joined the forum (ascending or descending).
Did you really want to know?
Of course I didn’t. I just like listening to myself whine 
one of those “endearing traits”, innit
Yeah, dates are stored in an SQL database with the time.
It’s up to the phpBB software whether it wants to display
the time or not. The time’s always been there, the old
version just chose not to pass along that info. It does
seem unnecessarily superfluous, devoid of purpose.
And extra.
Does it?
Oooh… yes it does!
I suppose there is some use for that info in exceptional circumstances, and I guess it must not amount to much in the way of bandwidth.
like causing the author box to be one line longer?
Well, of course! Sheesh…
