Since WolfCat67 said that the original no last post topic OP would no longer be updated, I decided to make this topic to continue documenting occurrences of the no last post glitch. NOTE: Everything before the Feb. 18 report and the official response by Paddle2See are WolfCat67's. Everything else is my work.

When you see these {} that means that I am adding something to WolfCat's work, and I am adding things as I see fit.

I will also be changing other things such as when WolfCat says ‘me’ in the bug reporter list, I will change it to WolfCat67.
I will also be changing venyanwarrior to ‘me’.

Also, feel free to report no last post glitches here.



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. {This has also happened on October 20th, 2017, February 18, 2018, April 6, 2018, May 16, 2018, July 23, 2018, and December 27, 2018.} Why the bug happens is still unknown.

Wouldn’t this be classified as a duplicate topic?

Probably, but this is a updated version of the OP from the original topic, this OP even says that the creator of the original topic will no longer be updating the that topic's OP.

Sorry for me not being able to respond, I haven't checked back on the site for two weeks. I am currently trying to get the image using inspect element, might take a while. Edit: Oops, I forgot to check the whole thread. Will put up image now.

Yup. I thought this was another bug report.
