As an experiment, I put together a Greasemonkey script to change the color of the reply date string if it's been more than 180 days.-ewemoa

Thanks to your script another necro-spammer was uncovered and his "ad" removed. :Thmbsup:
It currently only works w/ dates that contain YYYY-MM-DD portions, but if there's interest, may be it can be appropriately modified ;)

Didn't realize that part when I first installed it and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for me. Then I changed how the date is displayed in my forum preferences and it worked great.

Above post (I think) caused a "Page Exception" error - I couldn't even get this page to render without creating an exception certificate. How come?

I think it may have to do with my using SSL / https to access DC when creating the post -- perhaps uploading the attachment under those conditions caused the link(s) to the image / thumbnail to be made available only via SSL / https.

Could be... I know I had about a dozen notifications from DC and that one was somewhere in the middle. All before and after were fine - only that one kept throwing the error.

I'm happy to consider working on other date formats -- I won't promise anything, but knowing which ones specifically people use might increase the probability of quicker support within the script ;)

I tried experimenting in "My Personal Area" but didn't manage to duplicate the issue. I don't have any good ideas of what happened for you...
I've also tested viewing the thread using another PC with the same browser version (FF 3.0.7) with no particular exceptions set for SSL without incident.
Curioser and curioser...
