IIRC it was discussed at least another 3 or 4 times, and each time the answer is always the same: cache.

Ok, that's all cool and groovy, but the result is still that you have a so-called latest post feature which doesn't do what it says on the tin. It's always lagging behind the actual latest posts. It's something that should not be cached. IOW, it's borked. So, wotcha wanna do about it?

No, wait, I do not RC: the issue is that usually the one complaining is ignoring the board. If the board is ignored, it doesn't count towards the "latest post/s" and so it happens that you have results like that.

Not the issue in this case. I didn't have those boards on ignore. I did have a couple of whole categories collapsed on the board index, but that was all.

I don't have any boards on ignore. I'm not use what information would be useful here. It's just a forum with a bunch of boards, and the info centre "latest" lags behind by a substantial margin at times. The recent posts don't lag. They work as they should. If it helps: the caching is set to Level 1, file based. The server supports XCache, but that option is not currently selected in admin.
