"last post" strangeness Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

I've noticed, from watching the Candle'Bre forum, that after a while the "last post" column gets confused and starts showing people who definately haven't had the last post. Like now - Dale doesn't have the most recent post in the most recent topped or non-topped thread.

Those are probably in a private forum you can't see. The last poster in any part of the forum, including subforums that you don't have access to, shows up on the main forum list.

I think last post doesn't work. Not when it comes to forum, but when it comes to a specific thread as well. Sometimes I click my threads, it shows there are new replies. Hurra! But the last one is still mine

Suffering from ads?

There is a similar bug with deleted members. When there was last a spamming spree by someone s/he posted useless threads in most forums then got his/her account deleted and any threads s/he started, but still showed as the most recent poster.

Like the galciv strategy and trade wars shows now, its blobman20, but there is no post inside by him.

I just witnessed a strange last post phenomenon. The last post for the Ahh women thread showed pekka as the last poster at 10:58 while I have posted multiple posts after that, and other people too I think. I tried refresh and it still is not updated.

In the mean while, other threads are updated promptly. Like this post is already in the my thread list as a last post.

[Edit] I realize I only posted one post after that. But it is still strange that it did not get registered.
