Facebook is testing an overlay display showing the date and time on posts.
Well, it's not well thought through because the date display blocks out the poster's identity. It reduces usability considerably. I don't know why FB thought this was a good idea to test, and I hope it goes very quickly.

Almost sounds like one department is not talking to the other. (Coders v UI)

Things happen!

This test disappeared soon after, but it's reappeared in the last few days.

This is an incredibly annoying "feature" on desktop where you cannot see the poster's identity, and the test seems to be moving it up and down.

FB, it's horrible and not required.
