Topic says it all. I noticed this because one of my recent posts on another thread [1] only has the date part of the timestamp.

I'm pretty sure there is a post about this but can't find it.

I think the reason is that when the "old forum" posts were copied across, they only had a date, and thus the time was set to zero. So rather than suggest that everyone posted at midnight, the time is suppressed if zero.

I remembered one too, but I couldn't find it either. And now that you explained it to me I remember the reason also. Hmm, could it have been me who reported it before? Fishy..,

Thanks!

[EDIT]: This was my 2011th post (as in the current year). Hmm, I was hoping it would be a little more useful.

As a somewhat hacky solution, perhaps when posts are created you could check if the timestamp is exactly 12:00 AM. If it is, bump the minute up one. It only affects new posts and leaves the legacy ones alone.
