Area directory lists: page last updated = "Never" ... why?
Pages (or attachments, categories, etc) in an Area's directory list view will sometimes display "Never" in the last updated column. Even though I've flagged 4.1.0 Beta 2 as the version affected, this is long-standing behaviour which exists in 4.0.x, too.
It seems to be that pages which have not been edited again (beyond the first edit) is what causes "Never" to be displayed. If this is the case, can the page creation timestamp be used instead? Opening an affected page does show its created date just fine beneath the page content. Someone shouldn't have to open pages one-by-one to check the last edited date (creation date if only edited once).
For forum threads, XenForo displays a timestamp in the latest column
even if it has no replies. Example: "Can't Create a Thread?" in
Pre-Sales Questions.

Possibly a different issue: Occasionally I've spotted the "Never" last updated text showing for pages with >1 edits, such as "Something" in the
Info area (VW.org vBulletin site), or img025.jpg in the
System area (VW.org XF site). There are a few instances of this on my public (XF1.5, VW 4.0.x) site too.
