I’m here on meta looking at the Bugs category for posts older than 24 hours. It’s currently 4:26 PM ET.
Currently looking at this post:
> [@Dropdown key values is not right](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dropdown-key-values-is-not-right/141981):
>
> Hi there, I just installed with latest version : 2.4.0.beta11 And found the dropdown values goes to: [object Object] Version: 2.4.0.beta10 has no problem Version: 2.3.10 has no problem
A mouseover shows a timestamp for the last post as Feb 19, 2020, 4:03 AM.
That’s 2 days 12 hours and 23 minutes ago. Yet the last post column on /bug shows 3d ago. If I go into the topic, the last post shows the same timestamp, as well as 3d.
Is that by design or a bug?

It is by design. You can see the method that is used to calculate the age of the post here: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/formatter.js.es6#L160](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/formatter.js.es6#L160).
