In the example you gave of the "Flarum pronounciation" discussion, Flarum actually shows the person that started the discussion, and states it.

Now, in the examples on the discussion, that is not the case. Just wanted to let you know :)

[Zeokat]

Yep, @datitisev check new example. I made a mistake showing the example or check directly this post https://discuss.flarum.org/d/5797-help-verifying-one-bug-with-post-metadata

[Zeokat]

Adding another example forum where happens exactly the same.

URl: https://huddleberry.com/t/interests

Into the discussion titled _"Let me show you how to preserve tomatoes for a year!"_ , the real user who added last reply is named _"Mariam"_.

When you check the discussion list metadata, the user who added the last reply is _"Ajayi"_, wich is obviusly wrong.

Has anybody found the root of this issue?

[franzliedke]

And, more importantly, can this be reproduced on a fresh install of Flarum?

[Zeokat]

@franzliedke I suffered this bug on a fresh install that i installed some time ago. Then i decided to check at another communities built with Flarum and found that the bug is present in most of forums out there.

Honestly i don' t know how to reproduce the bug, seems that happens randomly.

[franzliedke]

Smells like something that only happens when updating a discussion's metadata (last poster ID etc.) fails, but post creation doesn't.

[pflstr]

As far as I remember, I once noticed that approving a post, which was also the last post in a discussion, didn't update the information about the last poster in that discussion.

This however was in Beta 6 and I can't reproduce it anymore on the DevFlarum Sandbox Server. So maybe the issue has been adressed with the core of Beta 7 or the latest version of the flarum-approval extension.

Not sure, whether that helps.

[tobyzerner]

@pflstr that may indeed be the case. Closing this, we can reopen if anyone manages to reproduce.
