[UPDATE] On any forum page, thread rows now display a "last reply Xh ago" note next to the creation date, so active threads visually stand apart from zombie ones.
Details
- The
forum_threads.last_post_atcolumn already existed — we just surfaced it. - New
App\\Helpers\\TimeHelper::relative()produces "just now", "3m ago", "2h ago", "3 days ago", then falls back to a short absolute date ("Mar 14" or "Mar 14, 2025") past a week. - Helper is exposed to every template as
$rel()alongside the existing$e,$icon,$pubclosures. - The meta line suppresses the "last reply" note when the thread has no replies or when last_post_at is within 60 seconds of created_at (i.e. brand-new threads).
