"Post time discrepancies?"
 
   I'm using the "mark read" option to see what posts are new.

On the main page, it claims Undocumented Features General has a new post, with the last post time of Jan-01-07 06:54 PM. But when I click into that forum, the most recent post I see is the Nings post, with a last updated time of Dec-19-06 04:00 PM.

Likewise, on the main page, I see Bubblegum Crisis: The Iron Age having a new post at Jan-01-07 01:20 PM, but in its forum, the most recent post I see is "Hello Kitty?" at Nov-21-06 07:47 PM.

I've hit reload at the main page a couple of times, but it still shows this.

That happens when a post is moved from one forum to another - in this case, the "Happy New Year" thread, which I moved from UF to Forum General. DCF updates where things are, but, for whatever reason, not the overview time stamps.

Similarly, that happens when the most recent thread is deleted.

   There's a somewhat different problem going on here. I saw a post in the SotS forum with a timestamp of seven minutes ago (as of the time of this post) that was marked in the topic list as having been updated by me. However, I didn't make that post; the notation actually refers to an edit by forum moderator Wedge. It confused me because my last post to that forum had been at least half an hour before that misidentified edit. Is there any way to fix this?

No. For reasons I, not being a programmer, do not understand, DCF can update the time and date stamps when something is edited, but not the name field, which remains the name of the last person that actually posted.
