Page count bug fixed!

You know that really annoying bug with a thread displaying the wrong number of pages, usually one short? Like, when new posts are obviously on the last page, but the page navigation links don't allow you access to the last page?

Unfortunately, reply counts in a thread, which determine the total number of pages, get out of sync due to various reasons, so I've written a utility to fix this. From now, thread navigation should hopefully be much less frustrating!

Let me know if you encounter any more problems in this area.

 

I noticed a couple of more threads getting out of sync since I applied the fix last night.

There are a couple of reasons why I think this occurs but I think the main one can be attributed to a server timeout when submitting a post. When this happens particular fields in the database don't get updated correctly.

This also leads to the occasional double-post as well. If you find that you've submitted the same post twice, please delete the newer one. Just click on the Edit icon when viewing the post, and then click on the Delete this post button on the editing form.
