I have noticed that the date of the last post in many threads have moved months in to the past. See the example in the screen-shot from "Comparisons and advocacy" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=2784. The final post which is supposedly dated 24. Jul 2018, 23:16 is in reality from 13 Oct https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=373759&parent=1521066. There are many many such examples.

Hi Mary
Glad about that. I thought, I lost track of time!

Now we are on this topic, it reminded me something I have observed sometime back. Certain threads showed in the forum overview one post as the last post. But the link there pointed to some other post. This happened when the "leaf" posts were later edited.
I don't have an example, not urgent either. In case the developers are already busy in this section.

About:

It is easy to simulate. Answer to the last post of a forum and then edit the that now one before the last post. The overview will show author of the one before the last post but points the link to the real last post. (Well, if you mean the last post in the thread, not chronologically.)
Here is an example from General help https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=50 (see screen-shot). In that V. R. is the author of the one before the last post. The link itself, https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=380237&parent=1532746, is right though.

Hi,
MDL-63892 is now closed, but moodle.org needs to be updated to latest version to benefit of it.
