I was using the term in the category header - I don’t know how it’s actually stored. Last Post would be appropriate as well.

Regardless, the “in thread” dates look to be correct. It’s the In Category relationship which looks to be the one out of sync, and it seems to be the Category relationship which drives the auto-close and the thread display/sorting.
