I've noticed in the past that the last activity indicator on posts often seems to list activity by someone whose name appears nowhere in the question page. Not sure if there is a legitimate reason why that should be so. 

I remember that on SO, you could click on that line and it would take you directly to the changed item, which was useful for seeing what changes have been made to an old question. That does not seem to work here.
