I upvoted because most of my recent notifications are identical, and I have lately come to be suspicious that the read/unread status of them is not always reliable, and timestamps would help me to know whether this is the case or not. A tiny little "1h" or "3d" next to the word "read" is not going to add much clutter.

@xtal not always reliable and not going to add much clutter - agreed. But full date stamps are shown with a click on "See all your notifications »". I wonder whether sorting "Active" might help instead/meanwhile if most are identical because As to the same Q.

@pnuts Yeah, but I don't want to have to scroll down and then navigate to a whole other page, just to see those timestamps. Incidentally, most of my notifications are "You were mentioned in a comment" and I'm not even sure what an "Active" metric would mean for such notifications, or how that would be any different to their recent-ness.

@xtal I accept you are building case. I think the first time I saw "You were mentioned in a comment" was in connection with your comment above.
