    Issue:
    The last post of each section is not correct. It will show the first post of the day (probably from 00:00 time) once I entered the forum from the main page and click into the equipment section, then I clicked on "back" button to back to the main page. The last post of each section would then change to the first post of the day instead of the "real" last post of each section.

    How to re-produce the bug:
    1. go to http://www.badmintonforum.com/vb for the main page.
    2. Don't click on anything but see the current last post in the general forum section:

    3. Now, click into the "Equipment Forum"​
    4. Now, click "back" in your browser (I use IE)​
    5. The last post of the general forum section becomes:​

    Look at the time, which is wrong, it should be my post at 10:27PM, not the post at 08:56AM.
    Others:
    The same problem applied to every single section throughout the BF. Not sure what it is, but surely a bug.

    it sounds like a caching problem at your browser's end.

    try this. look at the bottom of the page, look at what it reports as the current time, eg.

    All times are GMT -7. The time now is 12:07 AM.

    do your above sequence again and note the reported time. what do you see?

    I have:
    All times are GMT -4. The time now is 10:03 AM.

    But I think I know what the problem is, Thanks Kwun :)
