My Forums Shows Incorrect Last Post

Question
-
I noticed a few days ago that the "My Forums" page now shows the user and date of the last reply. That's great. However, the dates look wrong to me (too old). I believe the "last post" is actually the last reply to one of the threads that I am participating in. The names and dates match what I see in "My Threads" in many cases. When I open the forum, there is lots of more recent activity.
This behaviour is not what was requested. We want to know if there is recent activity we have not seen, like new questions. I know someone replied to one of my threads 12 hours ago, but I want to know if anything happened in the forum since.
Can anyone else confirm?

Bryant Hawthorne told me this new feature was not announced because it doesn't work yet. So they are aware of it.

I can confirm that the dates definitely seem too old. According to what I'm seeing, this is reporting that there hasn't been a post made in the Scripting Guy's forum for 15 hours 44 minutes or in the Windows PowerShell forum for 17 hours 55 minutes.

I'm not sure, I've been pretty active in both of those forums today and they're now showing 17+ hours and 19+ hours as 'last post'.

Yes, I noticed this as well. The dates and posts don't necessary correspond to the latest post.

It looks like this isn't working properly yet.
In my case, I either see (what appears to be, at least) accurate information about the last post or there isn't any last post information appearing at all.
