Today I’ve spotted this:

An old topic (3 years old). Preceded by the message that the user hasn’t posted for 5 years. That’s confusing and apparently wrong I would say, as the topic is only 3 years old.

The “last post” in the user’s detail page is correct (March 2019).

His last post (that isn’t a new topic), is indeed ~5 years old.
