Q&A Posts should have a visible indication whether they've been edited, and when the last edit was made

Currently, each post is visibly tagged with a timestamp that indicates when it was posted, as well as by whom. Also, of course, posts can be edited; both by the original poster, and by other users....

Currently, each post is visibly tagged with a timestamp that indicates when it was posted, as well as by whom.

Also, of course, posts can be edited; both by the original poster, and by other users.

Editing a post bumps the associated question to the top of the front page, [ideally](https://writing.codidact.com/questions/74958) with a correct "last activity" timestamp and user indication. The time when each post was most recently edited is available in the history for each respective post (question or answer).

However, *there is no indication on the question/answers page that a post has been edited, let alone when it most recently was.*

Especially for a question with multiple answers, this can be a drawback.

Is there any chance we can have **some kind of visible indication associated with each post which has been edited, *that* it has been edited and *when* it was most recently edited?** (Those two can probably be rolled into one.) The details of the edit should still be available in the edit history, of course.
