Threads updating themselves

Have noticed at times, that threads (or at least the time of the latest post) keeps on getting updated. So for example, the last post in a theoretical thread is 6.00pm for person x . Look at again, and it says 6.45pm for person x, but there are no additional posts and I am pretty sure there is no edit of the last thread.

I have seen various threads with an updated time of the last thread and in some cases continuously throughout the day, without another post being added. What causes this?
 
As was mentioned in another thread I think you'll find it's due to people voting in poll's. ie. when someone votes the 'last edited' flag gets amended. I dont' remember this happening previously so I think it might have changed during the recent forum software
upgrade.
 
Hi Buzz,
