Okay - if an administrator edits a post (full edit, not ajax) then when the edit is saved, the thread record gets altered - changing the thread starter to the member whose post got edited.

e.g. ;

Member A creates a new thread - in the forum thread listing they are shown as the thread creator and last poster.

Member B now posts in that thread - Member A is still the creator, Member B is the last Poster.

An administrator now edits Member B's post (full edit, not ajax) and saves it.

Now, Member B is shown as the thread creator, and the last poster.

If you view the thread, the first post is still Member A
