More Page Numbering Issues

[Greycap]

I've gone through this before with some moderators (if you recognize yourself, please get in touch) and possibly even Jordan. I just couldn't find any trace of the said discussions so a new thread is all I can do.

When we had the GT4 version of our tuning garage we had a member who was, err, non-constructive to put it mildly posting there. At some point someone got pretty fed up with him (assuming he is a "he") and, for what I know, worked some magic to make him disappear from sight entirely but the posts remained and threw the page numbering out of whack as the amount of pages followed the real amount of posts but the visible pages went with what was, well, visible.

Now it's happening again with the GT5 version. I don't know if the reason is the same - wouldn't put it past possible - but there's certainly a "ghost page" whenever the most recent page is almost full and now I can't even make proper linkings to the opening post as what is given as the link of post #440 actually leads to post #441. Manually editing the link to show different posts doesn't work either. Not good.

Good ideas, solid answers, something?

Yep, it looks like this is the same bug that was affecting your older thread. The direct post links should always work, though, regardless of page numbers, and I don't seem to have any problems in your GT5 thread. Do you have an example of what's broken?

Well, yes. The following link should take me to post #440 - the last one of page 22 - but for some reason it takes me to #441, the first one of page 23. Tested on two different computers and two different users. Something is certainly wrong.

Just clicking the #440 on the post takes you to a different post which is wrong. Obviously I can't help, but you can change the url to "showpost" instead of "showthread" like so:

If that helps.
