GB,

I've noticed on the new site that sometimes when clicking the last page of a thread, it pops up a blank page (no comments), and in the drop-down jump-to-page box it says "1 of n" rather than 15 of n, etc.

There is an off-by-one error in your calculation generating the thread-list display.  The bug only manifests itself when the total # of posts is a multiple of 25.  I think you see where I'm going with this.  I'm sure you can find it.

Thanks
James
(If you havent witnessed this bug, set up a test thread and give 25 or 50 replies and you'll see that you'll have a phantom 2nd or 3rd page, respectively)

GB, that is the same issue I e-mailed you about with the screen shots.  At the time you thought it was a posting bug that was corrupting the DB when the site was first brought up.  I have seen it several times on new threads in the last few days.  It appears to be in the post count calculation routine that is writing a new page with no posts in it.

Actually based on the symptoms I suspect the problem code is an off-by-1 error in the code that renders the list of threads itself, and nowhere else.

edit: that is, the first part of your sentence (...to be in the post count calculation routine...) is correct, but it is not writing a new page with no posts in it -- that page exists, no matter what. for example, try visiting the page you're reading right now but change the end of hte url to page=37 for example.  The page renders blank simply as an error-handling routine.  The actual error is in the code that renders the list of topics

I've seen this bug as well...

GB, I sent you a new screen shot of a current thread with the page problem.  There are currently only two pages in the thread.  The post count was 50.
