Display full timestamp

I noticed that the timestamps just state the date if the post was made the previous day. I can't seem to find where this is happening in the code. Is there a way to display the full time stamp at least for a few weeks or months?

    if the post was made today it shows the time. If it was made any other day it just shows the date.

    What use is it to display the time of a post two years ago in this manner.

    Just curious, by the way this is a simple fix.. But why use it?

    The call to Gdn_Format::Date() is given just 1 parameter, defaulting to the variable format you described above (changing based on elapsed time). If you manually specify the second argument, you can use a single date format for all time ranges.

    This parameter is a string, and consists of formatting commands for PHP's "strftime" function: http://php.net/strftime
