Unruly "Last Post" Dates
Posted: Mon May 29, 2006 11:56 pm
I first noticed this problem cropping up about a week or two ago, but I kept my mouth shut, thinking it was just my computer. However, even if it is just my computer, I'll bring it up here, as it's getting annoying...
As everybody knows, the "Super Soaker Central index" displays the most recent thread, the most recent poster in that thread, and the time of the most recent post in that thread for each of the subforums (though not for the subsubforums). Also, the subforum indexes display the various threads in descending time and date order. However, I sometimes see random threads turning up at or near the top of the list, and the latest date that vBulletin displays does indicate that those threads are recent. Upon clicking on the threads, however, the last post might be one from years back--and there is no correlation between that time and date and the one displayed in the subforum index!
Current examples of this are the Poll: "Sagant Shotgun Mod" under the Modifications subforum, and Poll: "which series do you hate the most?" in the General subforum. By the way, I don't think all of these random threads are polls, though I may be wrong.
