What's up with the pages now?

I'm not sure if it's all threads, but I'd imagine so. If I post a new post in a multi-page thread, it takes me to page #3 after I click the submit button! That's rather strange, since it was a 5 page thread.

long threads do the exact same thing to me. it's only started in the last day or two, so it's a recent bug.

Hypothesis.

One of the XMB features that has been deprogrammed is the customization of number of posts per page. It has been set across the board at 14 (for page loading speed), which is not in accord with the previous default (hence the variance) or the number of posts which you had customized per page.

Or something like that. These little things work for me sometimes, when I think I have a half-baked answer and forget there was a problem.

my number of posts per page has always been the default, I haven't bothered to change it. I don't think that's the problem, then. good try though, MA

Aha.

But the actual pagination is now 14 posts for all, while the old default listed for all members is 20 posts (if I recall), whether you changed it or not.

Just to revisit and thicken the plot a little for anyone that missed it the first time because of the pop on their monitor.

actually MA, you're right again. my default is still 25. I reset it to 14, so we'll see what happens.

It makes sense to shorten the length of pages but for popular threads it will make more problems.

It will be interesting to see how this goes.

Long threads now break at 15 posts. I've hard-coded this into the site to improve overall performance. But I forgot to add it to the post page... it's fixed now.

I really hate being right as often as I am right, I would prefer to be wrong sometimes so people could tell me what a klutz I am, I don't get that often enough.

Oh well.

Nope! Still not working right. I just posted in this thread, and it took me to page 4. This was the url after posting.

pid is correct, but page is wrong still.
