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

molerat

On a similar theme I have just looked on a thread I am posting on and the latest post column shows as 5.01pm so I looked as I had seen that particular poster had replied earlier and the last post was 4.50pm.

Something really strange going on here.

And a few more threads choosing 17th August 2022

Once more we can see an old thread being shown as 'latest'...



The thread mentioned - Re: Removal of entire ongoing thread - is the 'most recent' in the Forum policy & rules discussion sub-board but there are threads with later posts in the main Site Feedback board.

That’s actually correct. 

Removal of entire ongoing thread is the most recent in the discussion board. 

The later posts are on the site feedback board so both boards are correct. 

2 seperate boards with 2 different most recents.

Sorry, you've lost me.

I agree - the screenshot you have shown us shows that everything is in order.
But that isn't the image that I was challenging.
The image I used, and show again below, should be reporting the latest post from either the Site feedback board or the Forum policy & rules discussion sub-board, whichever board has the later post on it.

At the time of writing my post - at 9:04pm yesterday -  the most recent post on the Forum policy & rules discussion sub-board was exactly the same as it is now.
In other words, nothing has been added to the Forum policy & rules discussion sub-board since 10:46am on 6th April.

Now please look at the image I posted yesterday.
Here it is again...


That image indicates that the latest post on either the Site feedback board or the Forum policy & rules discussion sub-board was one made at 10:46am on 5th April.

The image that you posted earlier today clearly shows that there are four threads that have been updated on the Site feedback board after that time.

I am suggesting that there is still a problem here. That's all.

Ah get you! you mean from the forum home page, it’s not showing the latest post, in other words, the usual problem. 

Seems to be working now but we all know the ongoing date issues/problems are a pain currently

Indeed we do, but that surely doesn't mean we should ignore problems does it?

I am certainly not saying it is a big problem, far from it... just pointing out that the problem is still there... in case the powers that be think it may have been fixed.

No one is saying it should be ignored? I’m agreeing that it’s a pain

At this precise moment, for the Site Feedback board the thread index screen is showing no information at all where one might expect to see 'Most recent' information...

Every other board is currently showing 'Most recent' information. It appears to be just this one board which is 'out of step'.
Perhaps this is this an entirely unrelated problem and maybe worthy of a new thread... I don't know.
