Benjamin Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 This morning I posted to the thread Those French Banks*!*!*!*! but I can't seem to see it anywhere now.If you look on the Frech Finance page it shows the last posting as some time yesterday.I know my post was slightly off topic but surely even these forum ploice can't have been that offended.

Clair Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 The active post lists the last activity in the thread.In the case of the 'French banks...' thread, the last activity is Panda Bear editing her own post (made yesterday at 10:00) at 10:36 today.

Cat Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 As Clair says, the Active posts list shows the date and time of the last post that was posted or edited. So if a post from yesterday were edited, then that post and the entire thread would drop down the active posts lists, and not be where you might expect to find it.It sometimes pays to look in the forum section where the post was originally posted, in this case French Finance, as there are obviously fewer posts there than in the forum as a whole.
