Today I'm noticing some very strange behavior on multi-page threads.

Take for instance a 3-page thread. I click the "last page" link (or the "3") and I get page two. I click the next-page link at the top or bottom of the page, and I get page... two. I click the "3" in the page link list at the top or bottom of the page... I get page... two. Nothing I can do will advance me to page three.

On very long threads, I'm sticking on a page somewhere in the middle. No clicking links makes any difference. I can't even rewrite the URL to contain a later page number--I hit that page, and redirect to my page I'm stuck on.

I've never seen this behavior before. It's very odd.


EDIT: A bit more research about this. I went to the Tilted Nonsense thread "Longest Thread Ever" and clicked the "last page" link from the topic list. I got page 533, which is nowhere NEAR the end of that thread (the posts on that page were from 2008). I can click the page number links BACK--getting to 532 was fine. But any link to a page AFTER 533 put me ON 533.

My webdev-senses are tingling about some mis-handling of the "last viewed page" feature. It's definitely redirecting me from later pages back to a specific page in the thread.
