Text Messaging Times

I am pretty sure on my old Droid2, in text messaging I was able to see the times of text messages received and sent. Now I can only see the times if it is the current day. So I can't say "I received a text from Joe Smith on December 26th at 10:15pm". It just simply says December 26th. Anyway to fix this??

If you "long press" a message you can click view details. Its there. (if your asking how to show it all the time I don't think you can)

I agree that this is an annoying problem. Good to know that you can still find them by long pressing. I received a text message last night, but by the time i got it, it was past midnight, so I couldn't tell what time it had been sent (didn't know about seeing the details of a message).

I hope they incorporate timestamps from previous days in future software upgrades.

EDIT: Are 3rd party messaging apps still having issues? i.e. handcent?
