Fixed Time of messges in trade is always the same/ inaccurate

Device: PC
Browser: FF 94.0.1
OS: Windows 10

Steps to reproduce: When I or someone else answers in one of my trade, the date/time stays the same as the first time I see it. For instance in the attached image I posted the ;essage more than 12h ago. When I come back it still shown as 13min.

Anything else to add:

Can confirm, post timestamps are broken.

They look like they're working fine to me lads... maybe you're confused about what those timestamps are for? They're for the post that was made, not when the topic was listed.

I am aware that posts are timestamped individually, as per server time at the time of posting. What I'm observing (and I think OP for that matter) is that the timestamps for original posts, i.e. the initial posts with which trades are created, sometimes don't match the actual time of the trade creation. Does the bumping feature just update the timestamp of the OP, as this would explain it?!

It updates the last post time of the topic among a couple of other things. So if the first post is the last post, then that time will be updated. But it shouldn't change the actual timestamp you see on the first post - that should always stay the same as the time it was listed.

OP is saying that that time never changes - that is the expected, working behaviour.

@Puckey maybe I'm just being a bit dim here - could you post some screenshots demonstrating what you mean? Seems fine to me.

@Teebling Can't find the specific trades anymore sadly. The next time I notice it I will definitely make screenshots though.
I don't know if there is a Pattern to it.

Some things to add though, which I haven't mentioned yet is that I once commented on a trade with an offer in the last couple days and when hours later my offer was quoted, the timestamp on my message (not his/hers) was displaying "x minutes ago".

And just to be on the same page here, does editing the OP update the visible timestamp?

It shouldn't visibly, no.

Then I actually have an example for it from one of my own trades. An even weirder one. There is definitely something going on with timestamps.

Okay as for the search results - I have identified what the bug is - it's saying 'Sold X days ago' or whatever but the data is actually from the original post time. Just need to update that to pull from sold time and that's that bit sorted.

As for the second one, yeah that's weird that it is changing the timestamp from 5 days to 23 hours ago. I'm guessing 23 hours ago you bumped the trade?

Not exactly sure if the time lines up but I edited the post to decrease the price and bumped it at least once yesterday, yes.
That's why I wanted to confirm that edits don't alter the visible timestamp.

@Teebling I did a few tests in the meantime and could narrow it down to the bumping feature. Individual bumps as well as "bump all trades" update the visible timestamp of the OP.
