Show time tooltip for last edit as well
  • 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 (thew 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.
