What has happened to the twitter account? Looks fine to me

Except that it happened yesterday on 4 or 5 General Discussion threads all within 5 minutes of each other at around 6pm yesterday, which Ponzi is not or cannot have been on (one has the last contribution in 2015).

I proved otherwise. No virus but user manipulation: Ponzi bumping his own thread. Easy try it yourself. Select a thread you started click 'edit' then 'post'. Simples. Now can we get rid of the ads?

Yes a user can bump a thread by editing, nevertheless that don't explain how other posts got bumped and they were not edited. Also, they are threads which Pozzi hasn't made any contribution too.

I repeat what I said in #20 Pozzi is not the culprit. For some of the posts which have been bumped he's not been a contributor too.
Like has been said before, if someone edits a post this will bump it to the top of the list since the list is sorted by the date of when a post was last updated. It's not a bug, that's how it's set up.

It's not a bug, that's how it's set up.Well I think you're wrong and I'll tell you why and give an example. On the Twitter update thread I made the final post on 10 April at 9.55am yet the date shown for the last update is 24 April at 6.10pm. I can categorically assure you that I have not bumped the thread or edited it in anyway since it was originally posted. Now explain that one away.

Now explain that one away.24 April at 6.10pm would have been the last time that anyone edited any of the comments on that thread.I agree that it's a bit annoying if edits cause the thread to bump like that, I'll see if I can stop it doing that on the new version of the site.
