Bug/oddity with most recent post

[SpaceGhostC2C]

Browser, version and OS: Firefix 118, Mint 20

 

Steps to reproduce/what were you doing before it happened?

Post (and, probably, have someone posting in the same subforum at the same time).

 

What happened?

The forum main page shows me as most recent poster in a different thread, the subforum pages shows the correct poster.

 

What did you expect to happen?

The forum main page showing the correct poster+thread combination

 

Link to a page where it happened, if applicable:

Screenshots of the issue, if applicable: 

 

 

Any other relevant details:

I'm guessing the two posts happened practically at the same time, and most recent thread is being picked separately from author of the most recent poster.

 

It's like a zero-priority thing, made me more curious than anything.

Yeah looks like those posts were added at the same time, so as you speculated it probably is just a race condition here - the values aren't updated transactionally, so if posts are made close together it is possible for this to happen.
