Time stamps still Hyperlinked

I see that all time stamps in Questions/Answers/Comments are hyperlinked. I have asked a long time ago to be removed, since they offer negative impact to the site.

Why for example “4 hours ago” to be linked to one of my Questions ? What is the point ? Besides maybe we have a case of negative SEO here.

Thanks

Can you please describe what are the “negative impact” ? This is suggested by many expert, so I did it.

They have suggested that why ? for what reason ? What i see is Internal Linking (interlinking) with keywords that are totally irrelevant for SEO.

For example as i wrote above, why have Links with “4 hours ago” all over ?

I highly doubt anyone suggested that.

Can i at least know what file i must edit to manually remove this ? Thanks

This will drown seo efforts. Times stamps will be considered as keywords.

Sure but apart from the negative SEO, i ask what could be the reason for hyperlinking the timestamps ? And i find no reason and also get no reply.

Im sure he’ll comment soon.

Those are the two instances the Date is hyperlinked: I would love to know what purpose is served, in case i miss something.

Let me describe. Suppose, a user posted an answer then activity will link to that answer. By clicking it, I can go to that specific answer or activity. Imagine if there is no hyperlink and there are lots of answer and user add a new answer, without hyperlink you cannot get to that answer easily.

Ok, MAYBE i can understand the link IN the Question. But the Linked Time in the base page listing of Questions (the 1st in my picture), what purpose could serve ?

Same purpose.

But time links IN the Questions move to several Answers or comments, different each (example: https://anspress.io/questions/question/time-stamps-still-hyperlinked/#li-comment-14518).

Links to Questions base page listing, link to the SAME link always. So no purpose that i understand (example: https://anspress.io/questions/question/about-version-updates/).

This actually a problem here. The Followup. While some bug is aknowledged, there is no followup if it is actually fixed or not.

We must have that hyperlink. Cause then clicking it user go to that specific activity.

I don’t understand what you say.

Please do not use alpha version in production, its only for developer. Please roll back. This issue is due to older version of PHP. Please ask your hosting provider to update to atleast 5.6
