I had this problem too:

> [@Year should be added to post date at some point](https://meta.discourse.org/t/year-should-be-added-to-post-date-at-some-point/12716):
>
> I can see why you wouldn’t think of this until [a year in](https://meta.discourse.org/t/one-year-of-discourse/12710), but now the problem is obvious. I just ran into a post from February 2013, but looking at the date I first thought “oh, this is super recent, how did I miss it?”

I would strongly prefer it if we just spelled it out completely. `13. Jan` and `Feb 2013`

At the very least I hope this’ll be readily available in the settings somewhere.
