Thread Creation Date AND Last Reply in Forum Overview

Simple thing, but I just saw someone in the chat say new eye colours had been added to the game. So I popped over to the News section of the forums to see if there'd been any mention or if this was just misinformation.

There's only five news posts, and just looking, I already have no idea which is the latest. I could read all of them, but that's a lot of effort for idle curiosity. And I can see that being more and more of an annoyance as the site grows.

Eventually I can see adding a thread creation date to the thread list overview as also being really useful in regards to giveaways, sales threads and 'want' topics - if someone dredges up a months old sales tab, I don't want to waste my time looking at it, when I can see it had three replies, was posted six months or a year ago and will definitely no longer be of any interest.

I want to see new posts, and know they're new, or at least know if I'm going to be browsing something out of date.

I can't imagine this would take much - a little coding? But I think it would be incredibly useful to add before the site reaches it's ten or twenty year anniversary :D

"There's only five news posts, and just looking, I already have no idea which is the latest. "

If you click "News" tab between Chatter and Event, you see the latest news posts in order from the newest to oldest.

But anyway, I don't think it matters really is there a date to show when the thread was created when you can see when the latest reply/bump was given. A new thread could be already inactive while a year old thread is still active because the OP uses the same thread for all sales.
