NOTE: This list is no longer being updated as of May 16th, 2018. Some parts of it may be outdated. All occurrences after March 2018 have been left undocumented.

The Bug
The “last post” section of some forums appear completely blank at some times. The bug stays until someone else posts on it. If this bug is happening because the most recent posts are being moved or deleted, then it should revert back to the older most recent post instead of being removed altogether.

The Bug's Fix, and Reappearance
The bug was seen almost every day in the week before May 18th, 2017, where multiple spammers were active. However, on May 18th, some unknown changes were made to the filter system, at which point the bug seemed to disappear forever. This topic was closed after the bug didn't appear for the week, and Paddle2See seemed to agree that the filter changes might have unintentionally fixed the bug. However, on August 21st, 2017, the bug managed to a appear again, through these changes, in the Open Source Projects forum. Why the bug happens is still unknown.

Hmm, missing latest posts, or putting the wrong post has happened to me before as well.
EDIT: o_O you are not alone… I think this may be connected to the maintenance.

Bump!

Same with the Català forum!

I see that too!

I also see that in the Catalá forum! Strange, huh?

Woah the Catalá forum is glitchy, it also says it has no new posts (with the circle beside it)

Bump; the Catalá forum is still empty.
…And here comes the 60-second rule.

Bomp.

That one was a duplicate of this one, though, so why did it need to be linked to…?

I didn't link the duplicate topic…

I mean, you linked to your own post. I get it now. However, you could have simply re-posted it; it would have probably made more sense and wouldn't really cause this huge chain of confusion here.

Sorry if it has confused you.
Greets.

Bumperoo!

Hey, look, another one!

Today this happened to New Scratchers, Project Ideas, and ironically Bugs & Glitches
