In this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=438469&page=1&pp=20), it shows four pages of posts on the big NS RP bulletin page. When you actually look at the thread, it shows five pages, but if you click on page five, it keeps going back to page four! Oh the humanity!

Strange.

I've managed to get to page 5 and 6 by doing the following:

1. Go to page four, and scroll all the way down to post #80
2. Click the "#80" link in the upper right corner of this post
3. When a new window open with post #80, click the link back to the thread in the upper right corner

EDIT: Doing the above takes me back to page 1 of 6. I can now access page 5, however, the numbering of the posts seems to have changed, as post 80 is now on page 6.

The URL you linked above is incorrect/invalid. Fix the problem by removing the "pp=20" attribute:

EDIT: the "pp=" attribute sets the number of posts visible per page. When I checked, there was a total of 81 posts in that thread. I've tried using different values, even and odd, and they all seem to work fine. All except for "20."

Somebody must have deleted a post or something, as the post sequencing got corrupted somehow. I just added a post and then hard-deleted it, and the post numbering schema now works properly.

Thankee! Seems to work fine now.
