Show time tooltip for last edit as well

+9
−0

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 don't. This is also confirmed on inspecting the HTML, where the “posted” field has a title attribute with the time, but the “last edited” field doesn't.

Apart from the inconsistency, I think the exact time is sometimes useful information (especially given that the time spans get quite imprecise pretty quickly).

Therefore I propose that such a tooltip should be added also for the last-edited field.

Curiously enough, that exact information is available on the front page (but of course only for the post that was most recently edited). This definitely feels like an oversight.

Definitely an oversight. GitHub issue tracking this.
