I just posted in a thread (#/f/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27724&perpage=30&pagenumber=2 ) but the site incorrectly shows the previous post as being the last poster, even after several refreshes and other threads being replied to.

This happened after I made that reply and received a db error, and then refreshed.

So I'm guessing (based on my experience with vBulletin on the board I admin at) this means 2 things: That the all the counters need to be updated (as deleting threads/users without updating counters will cause this very problem), and that the search index needs to be rebuilt.

Just a suggestion, as I've seen the incorrect last poster info show up a few times on this board before, usually after another thread being deleted elsewhere.

Strange. I rebuilt some things in the CP a few days ago. I will do it again on the items needed. Thanks for the tip.

Just updating the counters should take care of any thread info errors. I know that reindexing is a giant pain, so don't bother doing it unless there have been a lot of consistent db errors on a daily basis.
