View Full Version : Post count wrong, looks like invisible page

Hi Gilby,

Sometimes with long threads, the page and post numbering seems to be off. E.g. at the moment I write this, in the thread "Pictures of your latest ride", the last post number is #5651. (This is Aspenmike asking Turtle for some snow). I have the default setting for number of posts per page, i.e. 15. Therefore this post should be on page 377 and indeed it is. The page number is correctly displayed in the url, and also the page number 377 is black and bold in the clickable page number list at the top and bottom of the page. So far no problem.

However, right after the black-and-bold "377" there is a blue "378". When my mouse hovers above it, the text "show results 5,656 to 5,658 of 5,658" comes up. But these posts do not exist! When I click the 378, the same page (377) reloads with all the same features I just described. Initially I thought that the newest posts were unviewable for me, but now I think that the page number list is wrong, maybe because of deleted posts that are not properly accounted for?

Maybe this can be corrected?

Cheers,
Klaas

I deleted the 2 spam posts that were in the moderation queue, which may fix this issue for that thread. Let me know if it does or not.

It is solved for that thread. (And I don't know of any others right now.)

Somehow it would be better if semi-deleted posts (ones that don't display) would not count for the page number list either.

Remarkably, the post count as seen in the "mouse text" when hovering over the page number, dropped by 6, while you only deleted 2 messages.

Thanks,
Klaas
