Can "last activity" provide more context on what was that happened?
- Can "last activity" provide more context on what it was that happened?
- Currently (November 2020), the list of questions displays a "last activity" under each one of them. It refers, obviously, to when and who made the last action in the Q&A thread and links to the user that did that.
However, there are cases where the activity is not obvious or, to put it simple, would be nicer to know exactly _what_ changed immediately, without the need to browse all the Q&A pair and see if somebody answered, an edit was performed in a post, etc.- What about providing some indicator on _what_ was that last activity and a link to it?
- So for example, instead of:
- > last activity about 6 hours ago by Monica Cellio
- Let's say things like:
- > X edited [the question] about 6 hours ago
- > X posted [an answer] about 6 hours ago
- > The question was reopened about 6 hours ago
- Where [something] is a link to the post itself.
