Maybe I’m nit-picking here … But can the date for old posts either include the day of the month or at least have the year in 4 digits?

For example, at first glance, the following highlighted date looks like May 17th

Its actually some date in May of 2017 (exact date unknown).

You are being nit-picky 😉  
You can hover over the date and get all the way down to the minute

It’s not as much knowing the exact date, as it is not confusing  
April '12 for April 12

One being 6 years ago, the other was less than a month.
