Something I've noticed since finishing a 4.7.0 installation is that blog entries don't display a "By username at yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm" string as is done for other types of posts. This seems (if memory serves, which it doesn't always do) like new behaviour for blog entries and it, so far, appears to be theme-independent. Can someone confirm this? I've been looking through the administration menus for an option to enable the timestamps but haven't found anything that looks like it'd do the trick. What would it take to add this? A (fairly) simple change to a template file?

TIA

- Go to administer/themes
- Click configure at the top (next to 'list')
- There is a box that says "Display post information on - Enable or disable the submitted by Username on date text when displaying posts of the following type."
- Check the boxes of the node types where you want to show the timestamp.
- Scroll down and click the button 'Save configuration'

As a sidenote, it seems that turning display post info off seems to produce a strange effect (bug?) in IE 6 where the first sentence of a post becomes indented.

HTH!

It must have either been late or I should have made that eye appointment earlier than this coming Monday morning. I totally missed that checkbox. At least I was in the right ballpark; I thought it might have something to do with a theme but I was thinking I'd have to go mucking around with a chunk of template code. Thanks (again).
