Search jumping pages

Search jumping pages

I have noticed this issue before, and it occurs only in some threads and not other, occasionally.

I was in the (What Are You Working On) thread, I can see the last page, (3372) but if I try to go to the previous page (3371) it jumps back to page (1671). I can select and see any page prior to 1671, but no pages between 1671 and 3372.

It is only occurring with this thread. As I said it has happened before with other threads but goes away after a few days.

I don’t think it is my computer, as it is only this thread. Any other reports of this issue? Running Win10, updated with Chrome.

It IS Strange......Very. I just had it say I was on page 422 and I was on the very last page?


PETE! What have you done NOW? :rofl2:

NOTHING!!:nono:

You guys...and your STONE AGE computers.:roflmao

Pete <:-}

I also can see only 422 pages in that thread, but it's because I've chosen to display 40 messages per page and not the "forum's default", whatever it is (probably 10). You can change it in your general settings. You can also choose how to display it: linear, threaded or hybrid. Try to change it and see if it makes your "hidden pages" to reappear.

If you go to the url you will see some number that is same as page you are on. Just change that to the page number you want to go to and click enter, cheers

I think its Pete. Quit playing around with the settings Pete! :mad::rofl2::chop:

I just checked that thread and had no issue going back page by page when clicking on the next lowest page number. Maybe its ok now?

I know this happens as threads get to big, forgot how to do it.
dimab and Christian1 have the answer......I think!

No problems here with that thread.

Sure...I'll keep taking the blame from those who haven't a clue:shrug:

Starting to think we should start posting individual threads on our restos instead of burying them there.
My projects cover lots of weeks anymore. We could update as we can.....


Could be helpful to the forum in general?

What are you working could be a sub forum with individual threads on different projects.

Yup....It's called the Workshop! :)

Afraid you'd say that. Pretty much makes the "What are you working on" thread redundant. May be close that thread with a redirect to "the Workshop" sub forum?

I thought about this before. Closing that thread and making it a sticky so it would be easy to find. Then referring to it when the need arises. It would make finding things a lot easier than trying to dig thru that Mega Thread.

I also think it's easier to find stuff if they are in smaller threads but generally I'm for everyone deciding for themselves whether they prefer posting one way or the other :)

Not sure about the next page link getting broken. My best guess is that for performance those links are cached but for the default pagination, and when someone has different pagination a software bug is calling the cached link instead of calculating a new one, and that would be the wrong link.

Edit: So that thread at the moment has 16860 posts, which with the default pagination of 10 posts per page makes 1687 pages.
May be your pagination (it's customizable in your settings) is set to 5 posts per page that's why you have about double the pages. And then a bug like the one I described earlier would certainly mess up things.

Well, the last page I can see is 422, yet it is the current page.

'What are you working on' is better served for small snippets of current projects and links to threads with all the processes, IMO.

That means the pagination in your settings is set to 40. I have mine at 40 too and the page links seem to be correct
