**Feature request:** timestamps. Ok, I admit I can be a little obsessive. Plus, if I'm a moderator, I should try to stay on top of things that are happening on my community. This includes new comments. Would it be possible for the thread entry under a post to show not only the number of comments but some indication of how new the newest one is? I probably have a pretty good idea of when I was last here, but I'm not going to remember how many comments were in every thread on every post. Knowing that the newest comment here is three days old is useful signal. I realize this poses a layout challenge. For me it would be sufficient if this information were available in the tooltip on hover. If we're going to take the tooltip approach, author and timestamp of newest comment would be useful to show. If we're going to try to display the information statically I'd leave out the author and "condense" the timestamp like we do for post edits.
