Hi,

As admin, I created a new subject from a post. But it’s still written “2 months later” (“2 mois plus tard” in French) on the top. I think it should be remove in this case.

Here is an example :

The correct fix is to make all the dates consistent here … first post date should always be equal to creation data of a topic.

I think this happens due to dodgy splitting logic.

No, it’s entirely due to dodgy splitting logic… it goes away on refresh 100% of the time.

I think this has been fixed by

No repro for me on development.
