Last page issue on large threads

sentient_6

Been meaning to mention this for awhile & as its happening at the moment its reminded me. In ranting & raving, on 'The official R&R motoring/road rant thread', every time a post becomes the last on a page, say for example page 169 as it is now, it always says there's another page on, in this case 170 but there isn't, when one clicks the link for 170 it just redirects back to 169.

& in case another post is added before anyone gets to look at this, at the moment post # 2535 by half-cocked is the latest post in that thread, showing for me as the last post on page 169. As i said, there's a link for page 170 but its redirecting back to the top of 169 as there actually isn't any more posts. Weird one. Only ever seen this happen on this one thread.

This isn't just a bug with one particular thread, it's a long standing issue with all large threads (greater than 50 pages or so) caused by some optimisations to enable the site to handle them without killing performance. There isn't a fix for it currently and I don't believe there will be any time soon. You're not missing any posts and that's the main thing though I will agree it's quirky behaviour

Thanks for the bug report
