[#4356548]

Is there any chance that someone could have a look at the code and fix the silly fence post error that means posts that create a new page get "lost" until someone else posts.

We've had this bug for [b]years[/b] now.

I know it is part of the forum's "character" but it's getting a little tiresome.

The 40th post bug? Well use to be about that. I think they tried once and didn't work, from what I gather it's buried deep in the code. I'll raise this thread.

We've had this bug for years now.
I know it is part of the forum's "character" but it's getting a little tiresome.
And 12.5% worse since the change to only 35 posts per page.

If only there was someone who's job it was to sort out errant code.

Aye i think you need three post to see it once over a certain size - can you not add bumpty glitch posts when someone does a new page to save time?
Does it show I know nothing about computers?

Really, send me "teh codez" and I'll fix it. For free.

Wild conjecture: I bet somewhere in the code it does a divide instead of a modulus. Or vice versa.

I might be wrong Graham, the tech bods will confirm or explain better.

It doesn't always happen though, does it? Are there specific conditions which need to be met?

I bet they just switch the server off and on again.

lol.

it's where posts have been deleted from a thread but presumably somewhere they're not taken off a post count figure which is used to determine the pages or which posts appear on a page.

Are there that many posts deleted (given that only Mods can do so)? If so, it would be better if they were simply "blanked" and left [i]in situ[/i].

Yeah, but then we would know the 'invisible hand' had been at work.

Nah don't think it is deleted posts. The iPhone 5 has had multiple glitchy bumps and I've not been aware of any posts being deleted on it.

If i understand this right surely there is a manual solution.

post, back button, repost, then edit repost?

Don't you mean 'features'?

I think it actually dates back to Shaun's era.

Got a bloke in my office that says that all the time too 😉

[i]If i understand this right surely there is a manual solution.
post, back button, repost, then edit repost?[/i]

It's not deleted posts btw. It's when threads get to a certain size (over 3 pages?) the first post on a page doesn't show. Click the
"[u]Latest reply[/u] from patricksingletrack" latest reply link and it doesn't move.
Another post or 2 will get things moving again.
Of course there's a manual solution, but why should there be?!

I'd also be prepared to take a look at the code if needed.

What's perhaps most annoying is that it manifests itself most in the bigger, fast moving discussion threads! (Like the rugby and ski/snowboard ones, for example). These are often the best threads here!

Hance my questioning of the "deleted posts" cause. Does discussion of skiing and snowboarding require a lot of Moderator intervention? I can only think that there might be some spam being removed?

Druidh, I think the two examples I gave are two of the finest where there's "self-moderation" from all involved. A refreshing lack of anything that needs to be modded! Not seen spam on either, either.

This post from the rugby thread deserved a wider audience, even with the terrible grammar. 🙂

The grammar (or lack of) [i]contributes[/i] to that post IMHO.
