Very small bug, but it seems that I was invited (2 days ago) after I responded to a topic (three days ago). In reality I posted some 15 minutes after being invited.

Think the timestamps are being converted differently?

Running `v2.1.5`

That would’ve been smart for me to do, an IT professional would do that without being asked.. sorry :slight_smile:

Timestamp of the invite:  
`1558701092764`, getting rendered as `May 24, 2019 2:31 pm`  
Timestamp of the reply:  
`1558701190690` getting rendered as `May 24, 2019 2:33pm`

That is odd. Any ideas @j.jaffeux?

Pretty sure this should fix it:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/7625](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/7625)

I would want to try to write a test for this before merging it, and I feel like there are other codepaths involved.
