The following problem I'm seeing here:
I've moved a thread in our forums to a different location, this has happened before the upgrade. The thread disappeared from the "last post" entry in the old forum and appeared in the new forum. So far so good.
Now after the upgrade this thread suddenly appears as "last post" item in the old forum. Clicking the "last post" link, however leads to the new location. So it's rather an optical glitch.
It seems to be connected with the current "thread has been moved" pointer on top position of the old forum.
Demonstration is available at

The curent "last post" entry of the forum "BBClone Wish List" shouldn't be around any longer because it had been moved to "BBClone Discussions". So I rather expect "last post" showing the last existing thread of that particular forum, ignoring the pointer to the new location. Since this is the default behaviour of the forum, I wonder why this particular entry not only remained, but actually arose from the dead: It wasn't around any longer before the update, but after upgrading a replication must have survived in a microscopic wormhole and is now playing tricks on me  .
It doesn't seem to be reproducable by creating threads and moving them around. Probably you need a just moved thread in RC 6 (the pointer to the new location still around) and then have your forum upgraded. That were the steps to get that result I'm seeing now
Any idea how to get rid of it, except waiting a couple of days before someone will be opening a new topic?
TIA
