Date of most recent post

I just noticed that when browsing the forum, I no longer see when the most recent post in each area happened. In the attached photo, it would have shown up in the circled spots. For me, it was easy to scroll through each section and look for topics that had recent posts. If a topic's most recent post was a few days ago, I could just scroll by.
Now when I scroll through, it lists the most recent post but not the date/time of that post. Why the change? Can we get the date of the most recent post back? It made it much easier for me to keep up with the forum.
Also, I'm on mobile. I'm not sure how/if this affects those who use a computer.

@MtPollux I’m not sure about the change, and if they fix it, great. I didn’t notice because I check the forum in a different way. There’s a recent discussion page. Threads that have new comments on them (ones you haven’t read yet) will have orange subject lines. The rest are white. Have you tried this link yet? On phone, it’s down at the bottom.
Thanks for the suggestion @Dogoutlaw.
The last time I tried using "recent discussions" I didn't like it as much because I don't know what category any of the posts are in, and there are some categories that I would skip (for example I don't usually read the posts about local groups all around the world), but their posts are mixed in with the recents which makes it harder to skip.
In the end I guess it's less of a hassle than clicking into and out of each category looking for unread posts. And in the long run I guess it's a pretty small issue to get too worried about it. Thanks again for the suggestion, I'll try recent discussions for a while and see if it's any better for me this time around.
@MtPollux Maybe they updated the mobile version since you last checked it, but the categories do display now under 'Recent Discussions' (though you'd still need to scroll past the posts you don't care about!).
@MtPollux actually the local group posts do not show in recent discussions. Neither do the friend codes threads. That's one of the reasons I love the recent discussions area because it excludes those threads and keeps it to the more relevant (to me) areas. That said, some people do post similar topics in the "wrong" area, ones that do show in recent discussions, so just have to scroll by those if they are of no interest to you. Hopefully this will be a good workaround until your preferred method is back to normal.
