Is there a way to make comments affect the 'Activity' of a question?
It would be nice to have a configuration option so that comments would affect the 'Activity' status of a question in a similar fashion to the posting of a new answer.
The simplest implementation of this feature could just treat a new comment like a new answer, however having a separate list in which the activity of comments was taken into consideration for sort-order could be equally useful.
Yes, this will be done shortly. There will be an option to update last active timestamp upon posting a comment anywhere in the thread. Thank you.
