Posts in limbo
 

In some threads in the [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=11588]Aliquot[/url] [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=14330]Sequences[/url] [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=16172]forum[/url], there seem to be posts that are in "limbo" - they are clearly there as there is a "last page" of each of the threads, and the posts can be accessed by searching, but the "last page" is impossible to get to. There has been a bit of discussion about this issue in [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=11588]this thread[/url].
Is this a bug in the forum software?

Does it work better now?

Yes, it does. Thanks!

Same thing again, in [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=14330]this thread[/url]. Please could the gerbils fix it again?

And now I've done it. :smile:

Could you please [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=11588"]fix my[/URL] [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=14330&page=49"]mess[/URL]? (In the latter, note the URL and note what page it arrives on. Same old mess as before.)

[SIZE="1"]I used the "move posts", not the "merge posts" button; after I hit the button, it crunched for a good 60 seconds, then came back with "You did not select any posts to which the action you picked can be applied" -- but clearly something happened, albeit something wrong. Should I be using "merge posts" in the future?[/SIZE]
