Phantom Threads

[Mercator]

You can change the number of posts displayed per page ("Default Posts per Thread" in your options), but changing that in your preferences won't solve this problem, it will only make other threads disappear.

I know you can change posts per page, I want to change threads per page.

[Mercator]

Oh damnit, I mixed up a few things there... Indeed you're right.

The problem is the bug would still exist. Set threads per page to 50, go to page to and thread 51 would have disappeared. Set it to 60 and thread 61 will not be seen.

Still, setting threads per page would be useful for other reasons.

Let's say the ten threads after the end of page 1 are phantoms. Thus, if you get threads 1-39 on page 1 and 51 onwards on page 2, to see threads 40-50 use the "&perpage=50" option in the url for the forum. Then you get threads 1-50 on page 1 and threads 61 onwards on page 2. If you want to see these missing ones, just change the "&perpage=" number. This is not a fix, but it can get you to any thread you want.

Besides, how often does anyone need to see every thread going back multiple pages?

[Kuciwalker]

Quite often, in the OTF...

Sorry, allow me to clarify - how often do you need to see every thread over multiple pages on forums that posting is necessary in?

[Kuciwalker]

You apparently do not understand the addictive powers of the OTF...

...or halucinogenic drugs

The hole is caused by the topped threads. The unusually high number of topped threads in the SLeague forum makes our hole really big.

Sig material, were I feeling nasty.

A fair assessment of anyone with a sense of taste.

Now now. There are even one or two interesting threads in the OT at any given time. You may need to go back a few pages to find both of them, but they are there.

Invariably, they're the 1-2 phantom threads you can't find, aren't they?

[Skanky Burns]

Touche.
