While reading Q&A this morning, it occurred to me that it might be nice to see when Answers were posted.

For example, take a look at How do I get the local internet IP address?. You can see when the question was posted, but there's no similar information on the answers provided.

Since it's possible to find answers via Search, it seems like this would be useful information, especially if an answer is contributed well after the original question.

This can be handled as simply as the root question handles it, e.g. Answer: <title> contributed by <whoever> on <whenever>.

Just a thought...

P.S. FTR, I did use Super Search to see if the idea had been submitted previously, but didn't find anything directly relevant. Of course, I may have missed it.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


There's more than one way to do things
