"Invalid date" and zero replies in width below 640 px

AI-generated summary

Users reported an issue where the homepage displays “Invalid date” and incorrect reply counts when viewed on screens narrower than 640 pixels. lukasjelinek initially reported the problem, and Whoa_Ralph confirmed experiencing it, particularly on the categories page. pmusaraj acknowledged the issue and stated that the team could reproduce it and was working on a fix. david provided a link to the fix in progress and later confirmed it was merged and live on the latest branch. putty asked if this fix was related to another issue they were experiencing, and merefield suggested updating as the best course of action.

If the homepage is displayed in widths below 640 pixels, some information about topics is broken. Instead of the ages of topic, only “Invalid date” is displayed. Numbers of replies are almost alway zero (0), except of the topics with unseen replies.
