How can you tell what year a question was posted?
I asked this a long long time ago when I started to get answerbag notifications after not being active for a while. I re-posted a question i made a while before that.. Curious as to the year:

As far as I know, you can't...

It looks like you are more concerned about the year. What you can do is write the date on your posts.

Roaring Not concerned, just curious as I was on Answerbag in the early 2000's. Someone did mention that the 7 digit number gives you a hint that a lower number is older. All in fun : ) -
Jenny's Gone On Vacation I'm sure you go a long way back on Answerbag. It is a good idea to have the date displayed in our posts. Other than that, I wouldn't be curious, just go with the flow, since curiosity killed the cat. :) -
Zotron Brilliant idea JR. I answered a dating question by a 14 yr. old. They may be married with 3 kids by now... -
Jenny's Gone On Vacation Zotron, 3/2/2019, I have been letting AB'ers know to just write the date to keep track of their posts.

I haven't looked myself up from the old AB. I might have to start time stamping every now and then. (3.3.19)

You may be able to get a close approximation by looking at the view #. They are in order. Those that start with 102 or have fewer than 7 digits are from the old AB. Ice Man or bootsiebaby could probably help you narrow it down further. I wasn't on AB then. I was on MSN's Q&A. I joined AB almost 2 years ago in the middle of April and the numbers started with 350, maybe even 349, I don't remember exactly, but I could look it up. Ice Man once said that a question had been posted ten years earlier because it was posted by a man named Nelson who has since passed away. I never knew him, but what I read of him inspired me. Maybe that can help you narrow down the year?
