Has any one else noticed that some of the recent CSV POI file updates aren't showing the correct update date on their download page?
The last few GPX file updates that have come up on My Favorite Files page that I've downloaded do show the correct update date.
Just checked this one and

Still Strange Update Dates
Yesterday the Whole Food Markets.csv updated its update date but the Dibella's Old Fashioned subs.csv still didn't update with todays update. So I don't know if its just certain csv files or maybe some gpx files may not be updating either. I don't know why I pick up things like this.

I noticed something similar as well, it depends on where you look I've seen different update dates. I'm guessing it could depend on how the change was made. You can either enter a new POI through the web template, or you can upload a new file. Maybe this makes a difference?

A possible answer....
@bear007. As you know I updated Dibella's from the info you gave me. I made the change right on line (through the template) here so you see a "change History" of April 13th 2011. As I recall I made an overall file cleanup on April 2nd 2011 which was removing extra blank lines which meant I uploaded a complete new file to the site (Last Updated 04-02-2011).
NOTE: A change history will only be shown if the maintainer logs it as a change.
Updating through the template does not add a new "Last Updated date"
Uploading a new file does give you a "Last Updated date"

Update change date.
Using Maintainer Tools to update a file using tab Search/Add/Edit.If you use the add to submit a new location to your file the update date does not change.Something the site admin needs to look into.I just tried it for one of my files.Went back and used the edit tab and reloaded the complete file to get the date to change for update.

Solved
Thanks, like I said, I have to quit picking up on little things like that. I just kept waiting for the new file update date to show before I was going to download a file the other day.
I only have 3 POIs to maintain since I joined and started learning about them 4 months so I still haven't used any maintainers tools either. I just download a new file with the updates.
There's always more to learn here.

I emailed the site about the problem.
