I'm seeing this problem quite a lot: The Last Updated date is "a few seconds ago" but the date of the last actual version is at least a day, sometimes months earlier. Whatever system you are using to set the Last Updated field needs to be changed. I'm tired of looking at pages for Addons, thinking there's a new version, when there hasn't been a change in a long time.

This isue should be resolved in a patch tomorrow.

I'm still seeing it a lot. There are several Warhammer addons that are on the top of the Updated list and haven't been updated since 10/3.

Palladia,

Are you still seeing this as of today?  We patched a few bugs and it appears, at least for me, that this is now fixed.  Can you confirm it's fixed for you as well?

I am also seeing a problem with addon update times but I am not sure if this is related to this problem. Say I go to the updated addons page and want to see more like i did today at this addy http://wow.curse.com/downloads/Updated.aspx?SectionID=3816 well it will show a addon has been updated even though it is old. Even made sure there was not one for the beta or worlk. If this can be fixed it would be appreciated.

Sorry that this is currently iconsistent.  The New/Updated is being set for any change, where it should only show up there if a file has changed.

The last updated on the main addon page should be showing the date of the last file.

Sat Oct 11th:

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/Updated.aspx?SectionID=3816

shows SimpleMinimap as the last addon updated 2day.

when you goto the addons site: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/simple-minimap.aspx

the last update was 10/2/2008

why is it even showing as updated on 10/11/2008 , i thought u guys had "fixed" this

The "Last Updated" time on search results is literally the last time the project was modified - even a change in description would cause this. The "Last Update" on the addon page is the last file release. I think we need to have two dates here, Last Update and Last Release. What do you guys think?

"last updated" is last release of a version atleast thats the only thing that is important to me. i dont need to know if a piece of text is changed. Release info is what i and many others are interested in. imo

As I said it my last post, we fixed the display on the addon detail page, but not on the updated lists.  We'll be updating these to reflect the latest file soon.

Well guys, it's cool that you found the reason for this "last updated" issue.

I can second THC's opinion, that the last time a page was modified is not relevant for me, what I really want to see is the last time a new version has been made available.

Especially with patch 3.0.2 hitting us as I type this and most addons on curse still being for interface 2.4.3 instead of 3.0.2 it would be extremely valuable to quickly find those that have been made WotLK/3.0.2 ready. However, my favorites showed almost 50 addons to be modified today (Oct 14 2008) but hardly any of them actually had a new version.

If you can fix this quickly, it would be great, especially since you are now the place to get all the former Ace addons, as well. I expect that you can reduce your load a lot by only showing those addons as updated that actually offer a new version, otherwise millions of addon users will need to come back again and again to check if a new version of their addon of choice has been made available.

Still, despite this, thanks for your good work!

This "last updated" issue needs fixing in the Favorites list as soon as possible. I absolutely agree with Urbin and THC in that this creates a huge amount of additional hassle for us end-users and a lot of unnecessary site traffic for you as hosts.

The sooner it's fixed the better :)

Also,  I'd like to see beta mods (optionally) counted as updates. As it is clicking Download selects the last non-beta version. In some cases this can be a mod that is months old, while a 3 day old beta is present. Perhaps an option in account settings along the lines of "do you wish to beta test mods? Yes/No" could determine how beta's and release versions work in this respect.
