"Last post" bug in "Your Forum Topics" listing Answered

forum-bug.tiff

I just ran into an interesting bug in the generation of my "Your Forum Topics" list. See the annotated image capture below from my Web browser (Firefox 2.0.0.8 running on MacOSX 10.4.11). I had posted a reply in the first topic shown, but the "last post by" indicator was duplicated to all three topics. Clearly there were no actual replies generated, since the second and third both show zero.

The forums are retiring in 2021 and are now closed for new topics and comments.

Just to note, this bug is still present. It's far less annoying than the completely non-existent "last post by"'s in the Forum summary, but still...

Another example, it does not go from the first forum topic but the one right above it. This might clear things up for rachel

Hey, this bug is ongoing, and there's more. Farther down in my "Your Forum Topics" list, I have another topic where I last mosted more than a week ago (9 days). The topic immediately below that, also with 0 replies, has a duplicated "last post ... 9 days ago" marker. Did the code that generates this list get modified in the last few hours?
