Something curious I noticed: while this comment was posted "6 hours ago", when I click reply, it instead says that the comment was posted "3 days ago".
Is this happening to others as well?
From digging around it looks like the comment really was posted 3 days ago, looking at the `title="2024-07-29T08:41:07"` attribute in the timestamp tag.
- Jtsummers 2y agoSubmissions get renewed sometimes and the time stamps are set to a newer time (this is to get it ranked high enough to hit the front page). All comments have a false (newer) time stamp for a while if they predate the renewed time stamp. After a few hours the original time is restored for the submission and comments. These usually come from the second chance pool (click lists at the bottom to get to the pool and some other lists).
