Even I red TOS I’ll go a bit off topic and this comment should be on #Contribute > Site feedback or even #Contribute > UX .

But **here** the exasperation (really 😳 AI translated it, perhaps irritation is better; those are homonyms in Finnish) grows because bumping isn’t shown. I’ve gotten few heart attacks because of some major bugs until I realized that topic is something like 6 years old.

Marking those clearly in /latest would be huge improvement.
