The search of new threads, or the index of posts with summaries of final poster and time of post seems to be what you're looking at. Opening the thread and viewing the last post, I'd imagine your post shows the correct date.

When viewing the search summary, or forum (let's call it a) "Last Activity" label, it will show you as the last poster, but the date of final response is taken from a different table (or potentially different variable in the same table). So, it recognizes you as the last poster, and the vote as the last update.

While the last post is yours (so your name is shown), the last "activity" was a vote, so the voters timestamp is shown.

Look here for more (as yours sounds like the same question):

Re: Forum Upgrade

The text boxes on the user profile pages, specifically I noticed the additional information section, are strangely formatted. The text cuts off, as if the field has too few spaces alotted, yet the window containing the field is much broader.

HTML Code:
So, in the profile, sent
   ences many times look
like
     this and it's somewhat strange.  If
I recall, it wasn't lik
 e this before.

I'm not seeing this at all, Inf. Maybe it's a bug with some browsers.

Well, I DO use IE.


Here are screenshots of my and your profile pages. You can see it's just not formatted right. Notice the strange spacing and how the text wraps very quickly, despite the appearance of extra available space to the right.

As I mentioned, it's not a big deal, just different than it was before the upgrade. Thanks for all of your efforts already.

Thanks for posting the pics. It does indeed happen in IE 7 for me as well, but not Firefox. I guess we need to update the forum skin.
