I've noticed that 'Last Posted' on Personal Spaces occasionally looks a bit out, but I've never thought much of it. But I've found one that's a very long way out - Mikey the Humming Mouse U99875 appears to have last posted on August 18, 2003.
Now that can't be right, as I had many friendly chats with Mikey, and I hadn't even signed up then. Furthermore, she resigned from the Scouts over three years later, on December 27 2006.
So what's going on, eh?

I've heard before that the Last Posted only looks into the last 100 posts on the MP list. So if the researcher is subscribed to Askh2g2 or something, it's possible that he may show as having No Recent Postings, despite having posted a month or so ago. I suspect that's what happened with Mikey.

Ah, so her later posts will be off the page, yes? That makes sense - thanks J!

"What I have deduced the 'last posted' only checks the last 25 postings on the MP list on the Researchers Journal and the last 25 in their Personal Message Center.
The count can be even more off when respective Researcher has unsubscribed from their most recent postings 
(MP list only) "
