Thread Pages

[Tiberius]

Assuming that a person has it set to 10 posts/page:

If there are 10 posts in a thread, the forum creates the second page (this one lacking any posts, and usually telling one that the post/thread does not exist). The 11th post makes the second page function normally again.

If there are 20 posts in a thread, the forum creates a third page (this one lacking any posts, and usually telling one that the post/thread does not exist). The 21st post makes the third page function normally again.

if 30: a fourth page void of posts; once 31: functional fourth page.

if 40: see the pattern here?


So say that there are 10 posts in a thread, and the second page has just been created. No matter how i navigate to it: it will display the error message until there is a post to go in it. One could navigate to it by clicking the # of the nonfunctional page, clicking 'last' (or 'next' when one is on the page preceding the nonfunctional page). (Not limited to these perhaps, but i am very tired :S)

Hence a minor annoyance that the forum has that i'm somewhat astounded you weren't aware of a long time ago :S

Erm...

That thread has 60 posts in it. It has 6 pages. There isn't a 7th. The 7th page is only created when the 61st post is made.

Even if I try to access the supposed "7th page": http://atheistforums.org/thread-25-page-7.html it redirects back to the 1st page, since that page doesn't exist.

I've never had the problem you've had. Can you take some screenshots when you spot it next and send them to me, because I have no idea what you are doing.
