I figured it would be a large thread. Wanna see the hidden page?
This is a problem that happens when posts get deleted. The reply count (the number shown on the main page of the forum) gets reduced by 1 every time a post is deleted. The problem is, the page the post gets deleted still thinks the post is there. There are supposed to be 25 posts per page in a thread, but deleting a post will cause the thread to go to the next page after the 24th post on the page instead of the 25th. The real kicker is, the system calculates the number of pages by the number shown on the main forum page and not the number of actual pages in the thread.
So, that thread is showing 925 replies. 926 (#replies plus 1 for the original post)/25 = 37.04. Since there can't be a .04 of a page, it means there should be 38 total pages and that is what you can currently get to. Since this thread seems to have had a lot of posts deleted, the number of pages the thread created does not equal the number of pages the system shows.
Basically, you have to change the 38 in the url to a 39 to see the most current replies.
Thank you very much by the way is the system going to fix itself or is it going to be fixed?
