I was looking into recent Support topics, but I got confused as it says It’s been a while since we’ve seen Kyle — their last post was 6 years ago. but it says Sep '21 which means September 2021 and this year is 2023, and it’s 1 1/2 years since his last post [image]

It has cropped up a couple of times, and I think you’re right, it does make sense to ‘retire’ them after a useful window. Edit: Contribute > UX topic Removing Welcome and Returning User notes from posts after a set time :+1:

then why it says “their last post was 6 years ago” when his actual last post is in September 2021?

[image] "Last post" message apparently wrong Support The message is about the user last post before the post it’s attached to. It means that before the post on the picture, the last post was five years ago, and it’s meant so other users can react properly …

Maybe it’s an idea to have those messages auto disappear after a week or so, since they lose value quickly and are only useful shortly after such a post.

I think there’s some confusion. The note indicates the last time that person posted previous to the one it’s appended to.
