What is with these "Greatest Hits" threads four years from the past?
Why do they keep getting resurrected from the grave? This is far from the first one. How about some clarity?
Oh, wait, I see it.
Last post "30 Aug '20 13:26" This was five hours ago.
So SOMEONE posted in a closed thread. And then removed their post.
Let's talk about WHY this was allowed to happen.

Something to do with posts being deleted.
Nobody has recently posted to the thread,
it's my guess that a deletion is flagged as an recent post.

@suzianne saidDon’t get your nickers in a twit, no one posted in the thread and deleted it. All deleted posts now remain as posts with a ‘this post was deleted message’, date on the last post was years ago. Why it was bumped, second page Robbie has a post removed with the new message, that deletion triggered the random resurfacing of the thread. Obviously a bug.

I've noticed on several occasions that the last post in a thread has a time that is
hours different from the last post date/time as listed in the thread list.
I think it has to do with giving a thumbs-up or down on a post in the thread
and that may count as an update to the thread. My opinion.

@kewpie saidlol, Trev's right, you wrong.
It's called timezones. If we were all using only GMT or UT it wouldn't happen. Duh!
me spoilsport 😎
All our times are se t to one standard. So the time stamp on the page of threads
should be the same as the time stamp on the post itself until an update.
Try it, you'll see. Make a post and compare the time on the post to the time as
the thread appears (top thread) in the thread list page. It's the same, until someone updates, of course.
