"Latest Post" Column Randomly Showing Posts From An Earlier Date

Anyone else getting this ? In View All Boards mode the right hand column of latest posts for each board is randomly showing some as posts from early October when there are later posts. Refresh the forum and it usually fixes the one I have noticed but often changes another one (or more). Very strange.
Another odd thing is it sometimes gives the correct latest post time and date but lists the poster as the op rather than the latest poster.

I have noticed a few of those threads are now becoming "current" as people are starting to post comments on them.

Hi @molerat - which board are you seeing this on, as the dates look OK for me on the main index?

That is what I see at the moment but it is random, they come and go. I have refreshed and those 2 are now showing current posts.
