Ah - you just explained it. I was just looking at this from a logical, not technical, perspective (that image basically suggests the user posted 16 hours ago, having never actually created any posts). Having only been using Discourse for a couple of weeks, I wasn’t aware how it works under the covers yet.

Thanks for the clarification.
