It isn't a problem (I hope), but quite interesting...
Sometimes threads appear in my "Subscribed Threads" list, but I haven't sent a post to them for more days (sometimes for weeks).
An example: It seems that the last post to "The Professor" forum was sent by myself (Today, at 11:47 AM, to the "What would Tolkien think of the movies so far?" thread). It's true that I sent the last post, but tje correct date is 07-10-2003 09:33 PM
So I don't know wheter this symptom would cause any serious problem or not, but I send it for discussing :grin:

Is there a poll in the thread..? If so, whenever someone votes, it updates the thread.. Even if they don't post, so whoever posted last will show up at the new time & date.. I've seen it alot in the Citadel..;)

Aww... You're right... :duh: It's a perfect explanation.... I think this thread should be close or something...

Don't worry Stave, even a Mod needs help every now and then.. And this topic doesn't need to be closed.. I'm sure your not the only one who's ever wondered about that..;)

Maybe people were looking at it or something.. But I do know that it does it if someone votes in a poll..;):huh:

Unfortunatelly I didn't check this poll-thing, when an "old" thread appears on top of the topic-list...
But from now on I will be really watchful... lol
