i just noticed when viewing an actual posting, unlike the index, the actual posting date/time is gone. It's been replaced by the "1 second, 1 hour, 1 day" used in the indexes.

Harder because it's very hard to figure out without doing calculations. I'm having a good day when I remember what day it is. Is this a BBPress change?

Must be, yeah. The upgrade changed the theme as well and it must use the new format.

I agree with you - it's confusing. I'll change it if I ever get a minute...
