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

molerat

Just now only 31 out of 57 on the "all boards" page are showing the correct latest post date. The problem seems to be getting worse and widening over a number of dates.

Biggest issue is people then responding to the resurrected threads as assume that they are current.

Now only 21 / 57 !

I can confirm we've raised this with our technology suppliers - I'll post back here when there is an update. 

Thank you all for the detailed reports and screenshots - these are very helpful in getting a handle on the issue.

Is this issue related?...

A few minutes ago I saw this...


Note that the 'Most recent:' column is blank - but only for this board.

A further occurrence of the incident I mentioned above.

A snapshot taken just now...


Again it appears that it is only the Site Feedback board that is affected.

I haven't seen any errors this week.

Yes the situation does seem to have improved but we're still keeping an eye on this issue and our software suppliers are still looking at why it happens from time to time. 

If you spot the dates getting out of sync again please do flag it in this thread.

Still seeing the odd latest poster showing as OP rather than actual latest poster.

And an occasional blank latest post.
