  • I've noticed this in several cases in the last day or so. The activity shown in the question list does not match the actual activity. Here is one example activity list entry:
  • ![Image](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/dpYxNP5rLFY7MnffNxBRZNEh)
  • The actual question is at https://electrical.codidact.com/posts/279978. Inside that question is shows the question was written "16 hours ago", Andy's answer "43 minutes ago", and my answer "22 minutes ago". These values seem correct.
  • I tried doing a refresh (F5 in Edge) in the question list, but nothing changed.
  • I thought it might be some caching somewhere, so the question list data is a little old. That would be fine and understandable. However, note that it says "2 answers", but shows the activity of the first answer, not the latest. If it was just a 12 minute lag (again, no problem with that), then it still should have caught the second answer.
  • I just tried it again with a second browser tab, and still the same problem. It now says the most recent activity was Andy's answer "42 minutes ago", in the question his answer is "about one hour ago" and mine "33 minutes ago".

  • I just noticed another case at https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/posts/279974. The question list shows that last activity as being the question, although my answer obviously came later, and there were no edits to the question.

Incorrect activity shown in question list
I've noticed this in several cases in the last day or so.  The activity shown in the question list does not match the actual activity.  Here is one example activity list entry:
