    Having the date info is excellent. I hate clicking on a link and than finding the info is so out of date and that can happen with posts that are under one year old depending on the topic.

    Seems like the language doesn't matter for Google, makes me wonder how they "read" the forum then. This calls for an experiment! :)

    Apparently not all posts have it yet, but when you scroll down the page a little it shows. It could also be a datacenter related issue, in that case you just have to wait until the changes are globally available.

    I did hear some forums owners report decreases in traffic since this Google change about forums. In other side, I think it s very impressive for Google, because now shows more relevant content and my guess is, with this change Google filter better, the duplicate content posted in forums

    ¿what do you think about this?

    Best Regards

    they keep experimenting with these kind of stuff,
    may be they are launching forum search, like they do for images, news, blogs etc.
