Just saw an unusual happening in the board. In GQ, it showed the classic thread [Where Do I Find Grocery Bag for Man](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-do-i-find-grocery-bag-for-man/571996/119) in the list. It says it’d been updated only a couple hours ago. Yet when I read the thread… er topic, it had not. The latest post was last year. The list said the recent post was by the last person to post to it.

Was there some spam in it that got deleted or just a strange glitch?

Saw another glitch. This was in the Unread section or whatever it’s called.

The list claimed the last person to post to a thread was slash2k, which was not true, although he had contributed, and the avatar next to his name was Chronos’. Chronos was also not the last to post although he was the second last.
