Last post time incorrect in parent folder

[scrambler]

This is about a bug in the forum itself.

The last post time appears to be incorrect in the parents forums and does not reflect the actual time of the latest post in any child branch.
For example this morning, when in the “support center page”

Support Center

It said last posts in the “Vue Hardware and installation” was 4 days 11 hours ago

But opening the “Vue Hardware and installation” it showed posts with as little at 7 minutes, 14 min, 19mn, 25mn, 3 h 49mn…
I am wondering if the Parent forum last post is only looking at the last thread creation time instead of the last post creation time in any post.

I forgot to add that last post and not last thread (if this is what is being shown) is really what is useful.

Ideally, if you could have a What’s new page showing all the new post since the last visit, that would be ideal for people who want to quickly check the forum for new discussion or answers.

This help engage people more, as they can quickly see what is going on and be tempted to participate.
If one has to go drill down into every sub forum to see if there are new elements, they are likely to skip.

Actually, I’m pretty disappointed by this “forum” that Emporia has setup.  They seem to be reinventing the wheel.  Their money should be focused on their app.  There are lots of forum/bulletin-board software out there that a lot of people have been using for many years and are widely accepted and very user friendly.

My 3¢ worth.  I’m old, I’m worth more.

Hello @scrambler thanks for bringing this to our attention.   I have forwarded this onto the our development team for further review.

I just noticed that the timestamp of my post #6965 is waaaay off.  I looked in my profile and did not find a Time Zone to establish my location.
