Problem is outdated, issue has been (mostly) fixed.
Why can't I know the year that a question was asked?
When I'm searching through Unity answers for a specific answer to my question, I'll frequently come across answers from months, and possibly years ago. However, the date that the original question was asked will only show the month and day (e.g. May 27). Why doesn't it show the year?
It might seem unnecessary, but showing the year immediately gives me some context to the answer... if I see that an answer was from 2010, I'd know that the answerer wasn't using my version of Unity, and that things may have changed since then.
Good news, everyone! It appears that now, if a question or answer is more than a year old, the year is now part of the date. It's not implemented quite everywhere yet, but it's still a vast improvement! Thanks, Unity Answers!

You can get the year if you hover over the date, but yeah, it's hardly ideal.
I was unaware of that. Not ideal, but better than before. Thanks!
i just realized as well.. yeah, they ought to display the date more pro$$anonymous$$ently.. someone file a bug report for answerhub
