Discussion Dates visible on Listing
While reading some of the Discussion categories, I started to look at a couple of posts, only to realise they were more than 3 months old. However, since there is no date on posts in the list (either original or last reply) I had to go into each post before I realised how old they were.
Can we show dates for either last reply or original post, on the listing in each category?

+1 on showing date and time of last reply on each category and discussion (thread).
From personal experience, what is most common on forums is sorting the discussions based on last reply timestamp, so it is easier to start reading the recent threads at the top of the list and then go back until you get to your last read thread or posting. But maybe sorting is worth handling as a separate point.
Yes please, it helps a lot to know on forum listings when they were made..
Listing categories such as:
is useless without seeing when it was made and/or last updated.. I had the impression this was like common sense in online Forums user experience.
Please fix!
It already is sorted like that.
I could have sworn that time (or date if not today) was shown a week ago in the discussion lists. It's not there anymore though.
As much as sorting is in that order, it still helps when you want to look to see how old some threads are.
That's correct, I totally missed that the sorting is there. Also kind of hard to tell when you can't see a discussion date and timestamp.
I'd still like to push Perringaiden's idea and see date and timestamp of last reply for each discussion. Maybe Nia can give feedback if that's a hard to implement feature.
