Another small problem. When viewing the sections of a forum (spotted this in my own's guild forum) the last column is 'last post' - with the format:

user @ DoW Month Day
time year

The problem is that this info doesn't fetch latest post details if the last post was made in a sticky thread.

There is no difference in treatment between different thread types. Is there an example of this I can look at?

I'd have thought so myself - that there should be no distinction between normal threads and sticky threads.

However, if you have access to CoFG's private forum, you could see in the "News and Updates" section the concrete example. If you don't, I could make some screenshots.

Erm... or wait. Maybe I didn't point it out right: now I'm not very sure that the small 'eject' icon in a circle marking a topic is the sticky sign. Is it the 'announcement' or the 'important' sign instead? Maybe that's the problem.

Nah, it's just a way of sorting the threads.
As far as I know, it won't make any difference to what you are concerned about.

I believe it only shows the last post, not the last modified post. Or perhaps it's the other way around and I'm confused too(smiley)

I am due to update the forum this week or next, so it won't be an issue for much longer.
Thanks for pointing it out, whatever it is(smiley) I have a general idea of what you mean so I'll be sure to look at the code concerned.

OK, cool, thanks. I'll let you know if I spot anything else wrong (by the way, I... test software for a living - well not GUIs, but nevertheless).
