Wesley Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yeah I still get them. How do you get search results of more than 500 posts? I click to view all posts made by a user and I get a search result of 500. Not the thousand or so I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Yeah I still get them. How do you get search results of more than 500 posts? I click to view all posts made by a user and I get a search result of 500. Not the thousand or so I was looking for. I don't believe you can. Once again repeating my theory that the phantom page issue is something to do with deleted posts as the staff the only ones that can see them. There are several flaws in that suggestion that. 1) It came from you 2) The extra pages are in flux, for different people at different times its different amounts ne? 3) There are 157 deleted posts in HWYD. That does not make 2 pages. 4) vB automatically recounts itself when a post is deleted. Plus I keep running a recount anyway which ensures this is done.

LegoMan1031 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 It is so bizzare. I still get them in most of the larger threads as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 2) The extra pages are in flux, for different people at different times its different amounts ne? No - as far as I'm aware it's the same for everyone but sometimes a thread will have 3 extra pages and sometimes just 2, depending on how many posts the last page has had. But the rest of your points do invalidate my theory there. What about deleted users as opposed to posts? They're still visible to staff/mods/admins but not us. Perhaps that has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoMan1031 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Also it never used to do this... So i can only assume something must have changed with an update or whatever to make it start happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rest of your points do invalidate my theory there. What about deleted users as opposed to posts? They're still visible to staff/mods/admins but not us. Perhaps that has something to do with it. Posts are deleted in two ways; Soft delete where a 'this message was deleted' box appears and you can view the message. Hard delete where its dissapeared as if by magic! There will be numerous hard deletes in HYWD (again, example thread) so they have no effect. Plus soft deletes are not counted as posts anyway. If post #114 was deleted the one before will still be #113 and the one which was following becomes #114. Thus, there is not a staff-only viewable #114(the original) as it simply ceases to be counted, and as such would not make any pages bigger. Theoretically a page could have one actual post, 50 deleted posts and then another thread but for both staff and regular users it will only be one page. Plus everytime an example has been posted its been in the same position. So like the one someone posted earlier (rez?) had Goafer at the top of a page, same as how I view it.

Dyson Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Consider me out of ideas Edit: All we know is that mods and admins are unaffected by phantom pages, and it only happens on old, long threads. It's not happened in any new threads, therefore it must be something that changed in one of the first updates, which was around the time it started happening.

Ellmeister Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm guessing implementing a spell check icon/ability in the posts isn't doable? I have no idea how this vbulletin or whatever you would use for it works but I was just thinking it would be useful, especially for someone who constantly makes erroneous mistakes such as myself.
