How to change the dates of the Discussion Forum feed on our main page?
If you look at the attached screenshot, you'll see the list of discussion topics that are showing up on our main page. We have every set so that the discussion threads with the most recent responses show up first. However, the dates shown are the dates when the conversation was started, not when the latest comment showed up. That puts people off - they think the conversations are really old when in fact they might just be really long!

I'm guessing then that the template is showing the items '_created' date and time and not its '_updated' date and time, so open up the relevent template and look for something like - $item._created inside the 'foreach' loop that shows each entry, then change it for $item._updated

I'm still having problems with this one, Paul. Tried what you suggested but it hasn't changed it. Maybe I should submit a ticket for help? Or do you want me to post my template code here?
Actually, I'd like to change this to the same as Deb is wanting as well- I feel the same way about how it makes the discussion seem 'stale' even when it's ongoing and active with recent posts... so I'd appreciate it if the solution was posted here so I can apply it to my sites too.

Hi Deb - Open a ticket with a link to the page and details of what you want changing, along with your admin login and I'll take a look.
Thanks
