When was it written or posted?
 

There are times I read an article or something on the internet - and for the life of me - I am unable to locate or see a posting date.

Are there clues as to where I should look? I like to have an idea of how current the article or posting is.

Huh?

google the subject matter.

There seems to be no "rule". Some stuff is dated; some is not.

I have occasionally found a date imbedded in the url that prints out at the bottom of each page, but that seems to be unusual.

For example, I just googled this article - which is fairly interesting, though technical - and I have not been able to locate a date for when it was written or posted.

I would find it useful to know if this is recent information or not. I am guessing it was written some time after 1990, but that is about as close as I was able to get from what I could see.

Or for any other undated article, for that matter. What seemed to be true at one time, may or may not still be "true" now.

So - my question was serious -

Sorry I can't help you but I do understand what you're saying!

Ask in the comment section how current the information is or when was the research done on the subject for the writing of the article.

Just email them thru the contact us and ask what the date of the article was.
