If I look at the JSON of the topic (appending .json to the back of the url), how do I find out when the topic was last bumped (not when the last post was bumped)̀?

I can’t see anything in the topic json. :thinking: Could it be in the topic list instead? I think that’s where you see the ‘last activity’ for the topic. eg. when a topic picks up a spam post which then gets deleted, but the topic didn’t get a ‘reset bump date’ - the topic list would say something like ‘2 mins’ but when you went into the topic the only activity dates you see are the last post (which could be months/years earlier)

hmmm :thinking: what about the bumped_at":"xxxx” for topics in /latest.json, for example?

That sounds promising. I’m on my phone at the moment so json diving is a little tricky, but the example topic I was looking at is Allow anon to view who voted on a topic from 11 days ago. And it appears in #ux (and /latest, etc) with an activity date of ‘6 days’ ago: [The image shows a series of comments in a chat about issues related to topic voting and interface design. (Captioned by AI)] Does the ‘bumped at’ one you found show the right(/expected) bump for that topic?

How do I find out when the topic was bumped?
