Hi Wayne, Denice, Reddit doesn't display the time of the post, but a full date/timestamp is available in the source code. Some browsers and browser add-ons have an "Inspect Element" feature available via the right-click/option menu. You can right-click on the visible, imprecise time of the post (e.g., "2 days ago"), select "Inspect Element", and look for the date/timestamp inside a set of <time></time> tags. Alternatively, you can view the entire page source and search for a distinctive keyword (e.g., username) that appears nearby the comment of interest.
best,
Nicholas
