Thread page 178 is playing tricks on us....
it has to do with non-existant posts. People sometimes put fake posts on. This gets you perma-banned quickly.
Anyways.......(when doing "......." I make sure I do 7 dots when I can)
The brute got pwnedActually, I believe you have that backwards.
When people get banned, all their posts disappear until the ban period is over. Due to what I can only assume is a bug in the post counting system, these invisible posts are still counted towards the total for the page. If the post count on a thread is enough for a new page when counting the removed posts, yet is still under the limit for a new page without the removed posts, we get the infamous "Topic Not Found" page error that we all love so dearly...
Luckily, CAVX has a fix for this in his Coup d'Bungie Greasemonkey script for Firefox/Opera. When it encounters the aforementioned page error, it automatically decrements the page number in the URL and backtracks until it finds a page that works.
I'm not sure if it's included in all the versions but it's definitely in the Standard Coup d'Bungie Script Generator. While you're at it, Why not pimp out your Bungie account too. =]
edit: Ha! Oh, the irony! A post about how to fix the page error becomes the first post on the page. Thus fixing the page error. =]
