[2020] "Latest" filter not displaying bug forum posts

Interesting…

I’m not discounting your conjecture, but I’ve some of my own. The forum’s a little inconsistent in how it treats edits to existing posts - if I hadn’t responded and you edited this post an hour after first submitting it, it’d be back to the top of the list with Activity back at ‘1m’.

I think what might be going on here is that the most recent post of a thread is being edited, and the timestamp of its most recent activity is thus being reset. When that occurs, the forum acts as if there’s been activity (there has been) but has no new posts to show you.

Posts which have been edited are marked as such - there’s an orange pencil icon to the immediate left of the post’s timestamp, which you can mouse over to view the time of the edit. The next time this happens, if you remember, could you see if it can be explained by an edit?

I’ve just checked and can confirm that the pencil icon shows up on the phone layout.

I tested this on a Samsung Galaxy A50.

Added this to the sticky thread.

Unfortunately it’s unlikely we’ll be able to spend much time on this before Patch 0.8.
