How do I add the date in a forum thread list overview (on the right side).

Question

Hello, as described in the subject, I want to add the date the post is created to the forum thread list. 
 If that is not possible, how do I add the date/timestamp of the latest reply/update in the overview of the forum threads? 
 Or can I add both the date the post is created AND the timestamp (of x hours/day/years ago) of the latest reply/update in the overview of the forum threads?

Hi Irene, 
 Yes, this is all doable with a little coding knowledeg. You will need to edit the widget via Administration > Interface > Widget Studio . Find the "Forum - Thread List" widget, "list.vm" file. There you'll see references to a $thread object, and can reference the API documentation , specifically the ForumThread type, for available properties. Many other things can be done with the API for information that is not included in the thread object itself. 
 Note that if you are on 9.x, it's considered a legacy version. Later versions of the widget (for example, the one used in this forum ) may already have some of the details that you want to add.
