Discussion forums - add original date posted to listing page
So many discussion forum posts were initially created years ago and are requesting help, advice or commenting on a wish list item, they are normally not very useful and a bit of a distraction.
Can the main listing page include the original date the post was created, that way users will be a bit more aware it is likely to be outdated.

KellyAuner : HVfb0f498d-053b said it'd be helpful to see the date of the original post on "the main listing page." In other words, before opening the post. Whether it's an exact date (e.g., 2016-05-04) or more generic (e.g., 9 years ago), that would indicate how new the question is.
I'll add my name to the list for that suggestion. (In fact, I submitted that as a feature request for the old site.)
In addition, it'd be helpful if the list differentiated between the original poster and the person who made the most recent reply. Now, it always shows the original poster's name.
For clarity, here's a mockup of what I think would be helpful:
Hi JudyNollet,
Thanks so much for the clarification!
This mockup is a fantastic visual as well. I've added your comments to the report.
Hi HVfb0f498d-053b,
Thanks for reaching out!
I've passed your feedback to the team. Currently, you should see how many hours or months ago the original post was shared. I can see how having exact dates would be useful!
