Weird forum issue with nonexistant pages?

[geminisama]

Hi, I've been noticing some weird forum issues lately, concerning pages that don't exist. I first noticed it in the Death & Taxes thread, where there would be an extra page you can't get on no matter how many times you click the page number, or manually type it into the url. I shrugged it off as a freak occurance, and just now I was in a thread for Eu3 and there were ATLEAST 3 pages I couldn't click on. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...shots/page1171 It claims there are 1176 pages, but the farthest is 1171.

Any workarounds?

It is with the Vbb software itself, not just his board, it has to do with soft deleted posts, that you cannot see but are still there.
The Page number is counting them, when calculating how many pages there are in a thread.
You would think it is an easy fix but ver after ver keeps coming out with no fix so ...

the easiest fix is to close large threads and open a new, linking to the old one.

however, this does not seem to be praxis at paradox, and might count as spam.

Ahh, well then. Perhaps you should send the people behind the forum software a video of you shaking your fist at them. It just might work.

Especially since I surf the forum in my Plate Mail and with a sword in the other hand.
