...and it will never work. There is no hooks in active_topics extension
only thing which you can do is change it manually:
change:
$item_title['link'] = '<a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['post'], $cur_set['last_post_id']).'">'.forum_htmlencode($cur_set['subject']).'</a>';
to:
$item_title['link'] = '<a href="'.forum_link($forum_url['post'], $cur_set['last_post_id']).'" title="'.format_time($cur_topic['posted'], FORUM_FT_DATE).' '.sprintf($lang_forum['Topic starter'], forum_htmlencode($cur_topic['poster'])).'">'.forum_htmlencode($cur_set['subject']).'</a>';
and this:
$item_body['subject']['title'] = '<h3 class="hn"><span class="item-num">'.forum_number_format(++$item_num).'</span> '.implode(' ', $item_title).'</h3> <em> by '.forum_htmlencode($cur_set['poster']).'</em>';
to:
$item_body['subject']['title'] = '<h3 class="hn"><span class="item-num">'.forum_number_format(++$item_num).'</span> '.implode(' ', $item_title).'</h3>';
didn't test, but should work
