It depends on where you access the thread from, because the system keeps track of the last page of each thread that you have read. So if you've already read the first page of a thread, and a new post makes the thread now be 2 pages long, the next time you click the link to that thread (from the home page) it will jump to the second page since you've already read the first page. (This is the same here and on WoV.)


OK, when I first access the thread "TITLE" from Recent Posts it brought me to page two. I had not previously accessed the thread. Did that with another thread as well which is really why I noticed as it struck me as odd.

I'm having the same problem, except it appears to be jumping me to posts completely at random.

I noticed a problem which may or may not be related.

On the recent list page, http://diversitytomorrow.com/recent/ threads with multiple pages have the "Page:" indicator, but no page number links appear. They DO appear on the indvidual forum thread lists.

I don't know if this is me or what, but...

http://diversitytomorrow.com/recent/ works fine.
http://diversitytomorrow.com/recent produces the 404 error.

Regarding the missing page numbers, I fixed those.
Regarding the URL - the correct URL has the trailing slash. Is there a page which is linking to the incorrect URL?

No. I just got lazy when typing. I had thought that the trailing slash was optional.

Typing URLs? Do you not have a mouse or similar pointing device?

(I'm just busting your chops. But I feel little remorse for enforcing the correct URLs. "/recent" is just as different from "/recent/" as it is from "/bubble-gum-poopy-face/" as far as the server is concerned.)

On the "Currently Active Members" and "Members Who Have Visited the Forum Today" sections at the bottom of the home page sometimes the totals don't match what is shown. For example it will say there are 5 active members and list 4 names. The same issue exists at WoV.

However, sometimes it is accurate. Are there some "invisible" users?

It counts the members who hide their online status (like me.) I got into the habit in the early days of forums, being female and cautious. I know EvenBob hides as well, but have no idea why.

Perhaps for the same reasons?
