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

Sea_Shell

Something odd this morning, as lots "announcement" threads are showing at the top of my "latest posts" page.

Most of them are showing as closed.

They range in date from 24th April 2023 back to 3rd August 2021.

They appear to be just those for the boards I subscribe to.

They don't disappear when read (or re-read)

they are cluttering up the new post feed, as there is almost a whole page of them.



ETA - I've managed to get rid of them (for now?) all by dismissing them, one by one.  Lets see if they come back again!!

This thread was started in November 2021, so 18 months this has been going on and despite what anyone says there hasn't been a permanent solution. Surely it's about time something was done.

Back with a vengeance. 12th April is the favoured date displayed today.

Yes 12th April,  started reading a 'latest post' thought "I've read this already!"

I used to work in the software industry. If a bug like this was left unfixed for this length of time I would have been fired. 
Come on MSE some serious ar** kicking required.

Yes indeed this thread is 18 months old, but the previous thread reporting exactly the same issue was started four months before that.

Not just software industry, for most business sectors this would not be acceptable.
