What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

When you click on an event's "Read the full account of the event" hyperlink, if you are not in the starting era, the UTD is displayed instead of the Era year. I would like both to be shown, or perhaps options in the timeline settings to select which is shown (or both!). It seems like a simple enough change.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

While I know it's more of a quality-of-life feature, I feel it saves time and a bit of confusion both for creators to keep dates straight in their head, and for visitors to see the uniform date scheme the creator intended.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

The Team's Response

As the unctrollable orc mentioned above this is not possible because an event can be part of multiple timelines   At it's current state, this suggestion is not possible to be implemented. Perhaps an alternative layout that would load the event as a modal on a specific timeline can be implemented but this is a completly different suggestion   Also please make sure that the titles of. your suggestion make some sense. "Timelines" is not descriptive in anyway.
