When I move the mouse over the “posted … ago” text below a post, I get a tooltip with the actual posting time. However if I do the same on the last edited field (the one with the pencil at front), ...
I suggest to enlarge the commenting box of threaded comments at least by 50% height (at least on desktop display).
