Blank last pages

21-12-2003, 06:04
Sometimes, the last page of a forum topic (as linked to by the index) says "No posts exist for this topic" or something similar. Is this a known bug?

yeah, forum eats 'em or something. Post a couple more posts and they'll show.

I think that's what it was anyways. I read it a while ago so I may be wrong.

I always thought it was from people who deleted their posts.

Yes, Der is right. When a post is deleted it leaves a 'ghost' and pushes the boards count up. So that the board believes that there's another post, and since it creates a new page every 19(?) posts, you get a new page created early. Ahhh well, <shrugs>

20, just the first page only has 19 replies

And the ghosts (except of multi posts, where only the first one counts for anything from my observations{although I could be wrong}) are cumulative.

No, Salusa has already explained that the posts when deleted leave ghosts, and that they are cumulative.

The only thing that I'm not sure aout, is that it *seems* like multi posts do not leave ghosts when deleted.

i don't see how that would work, but maybe..... . . . .

I don't know, it's just what I've heard. I think that if anyone would know, it'd be Peng-Pau or Rapid Dr3am.
