"No posts exist for this topic"

Post by Laura » Tue Apr 27, 2004 2:04 pm

Does anyone else ever get this error message?
I find it usually happens when I click the persons name at the RHS so as to read the last post in a long thread, or if I click the last page in a long thread.
Eg the "Things left Unsaid" thread:
http://busmail.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=872609#872609

It doesn't bother me, cos if I click the second last page it comes up fine, it's just a bit odd that's all.

when somebody replies, and it is logged as a post, and then that reply is deleted, be it by the author or a moderator, the number of replies stays the same, but there will actually be one less 'post' in the thread. That's why it usually happens on a new page of a long thread.


Hope that makes sense. I'll try again if it doesn't :wink:

The speedo thread is notorious for the phantom page
happens with every page.

I dinno why it does it but but at least it makes for a topic of conversation sometimes

It happens with big threads. Dunno just how big, but if they're big, it makes that accursed page. (but that's the phantom page, and I think that's different than what's referred to in this thread)
