non-JS view doesn't show post action content

While using a non-JS browser for unrelated reasons, I noticed that the view includes post actions but doesn’t say what they are (post #3 in the below screenshots):

Updating tags (as a moderator) shouldn't push a topic back to the top of the feed

As discussed in other topics here, adding tags is something that often needs to be done by experienced users rather than the people posting questions. Which is fine - however this tends to get done in batches, every few days - expecting mods to do it continuously is not really an option. Then the issue is that all the updated topics get pushed back up to the top of the feed, pushing newer topics down where they will not get the attention they deserve.

(it also doesn’t show that the topic is closed, etc.)

Ah yes we should improve this for release @vinothkannans

It’s done. I just added the post action text without relative time. If I include it like “closed 9 hours ago” then the post content will change every hour/day. It’s not good for SEO I think.

Intead we can use the text “closed this topic at”, “opened this topic at”, etc., In this case it will require a new set of translation keys.

I’m not sure why we need this. We’re not going to display it in search engine result titles, right?

Great! Simplest solution that doesn’t require any extra translations is fine.
