Recently I posted a reply in a forum. Then I edited it. Then I decided I didn't need to reply, and so deleted it altogether.

But when I got back to the main forums page, it still said that the latest reply was by me. I refreshed, but still got the same result.

So it seems that if I delete a reply, then my nick will stay as the "latest reply by" even though it's no longer in the thread, until somebody else replies (and thus becomes the "latest reply by").

Like I said, trivial, but confusing if you enter a thread looking for a reply by someone who's opinion you respect (I don't count myself in that category), and it's not there - 'cos they deleted it....

Just a "heads up" to the programmers - if someone deletes their reply and they're still at the head of the list in the database, then there needs to be a roll-back (I expect to see this minor glitch resolved sometime in 2010)....

Cheers,
