I'm pretty sure it happens when someone goes back and edits/deletes a post somewhere in the thread that takes the page count below the highest one it reached.

I suspect because coders are lazy twats these days, they haven't allowed for this happening on the software update we're on. So the page count remains the same but there is no content on the highest numbered page.
Maybe someone should test it out?

Easiest way I can think is if you get that message, click on anything but the last page, post a quick reply then see if that reply is at the top of the last page.


Ok, that's not what happens because I deleted the above post when MCN pushed it onto two pages and it went back to one page only.

Is there a way to check the 'content size' of a page? Is there a known limit? So next time a page is shown as not existing it could be checked if the previous (or properly last) page has reached 'full'? I'm sure it's just that a new page number is displayed at some point before the 'in use' page is actually full.

Yeah... I got that. Rolling Eyes

I had the 'page get' quite legally and above board.
Finding my post relegated to the bottom of the previous page with the others makes me look/feel like a complete fool. Embarassed

This is notice that I'll be PMing a mod about this shenanigans.
