Should be common in all the board but specially noticeable in The Landfill subforum.

When clicking the "»" besides the nick on the "Last post" column:

Expected behavior: One goes to the last post on the subforum (regardless of where it was created, right now one posted by Trelior).

What actually happens: One goes here:

http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=112930#112930 (a message posted in the subforum back in 08-09-09).

In short, it's impossible to go directly to the last deleted thread with one click (as I think was the intention of the "»" link).

Except the Display Case, where it leads here: http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=0#0

Because the » leads to the last post created on the subforum, and none has been created on Display case.

It simply doesn't get updated when threads are moved.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

No post has been created in the Landfill, either, since you can't post there. But the Landfill's » still leads to an existing thread.

I'm sure the reason why the symbol goes to Stark's post in the Landfill is because he created that post from the Landfill. He can do that because he's an admin.

Quite possible.

But either way, not updating those » things when moving a thread isn't a really good way to do things. Like deleting posts without updating the thread's post count

You act like that was the intended behavior. Obviously it was just something that was overlooked when programming the board.
