Threads with 7 posts

There's a bug when a thread has exactly 7 replies (or a multiple of 7, 14, 21 etc).

Eg: http://www.wikivorce.com/divorce/Divorce-Advice/General-Divor ce/137907-What-financial-orders-can- the-court-make.html

When you click on the thread it has "Page: Start Prev 1 2 Next End" at the top and bottom to go to the second page, all good. But on the forum index the "[Page: 1,2]" does not appear when it has 7 replies. When it has 8 replies, the direct link to page 2 does appear. It's a bit annoying, when there are 7 replies, you have to go onto the first page and click "page 2", rather than going direct to page 2 from the forum index.

Thanks for this, Cookie.

I've passed this on to our technical team, and they will have a look.

Bump. This issue is still there.

Did I make it clear what the problem is? Here's an example. The 2 threads below both have 14 replies plus the original post, so 15 posts in total. 7 on page 1, 7 on page 2, and the last one on page 3. In the forum index it shows as:


The only way to read the last post is to go to page 2 and click "Next" or "3":


It is confusing when you don't know about this problem, you'd just click page 2 on the forum index and read the last post on that page, assuming it's the last one, and not see the last reply on page 3.

I would say the bug is on the forum index page, it uses "number of replies divided by 7 rounded up" to calculate the number of page links to display, rather than "total number of posts divided by 7 rounded up".

Cookie,

Thanks for this bug report.

A further thankyou for making it so clear and specific.

Thanks to your clear de­script­ion I have been able to track down and fix the bug.

Excellent, much better now thanks

Doh, there still seem to be similar problems to this. Now threads with 13 replies are showing as 3 pages when they should have 2, when you click on the page 3 link you get a blank page. The page-counter on the actual thread is always correct but the page-count on the forum index is often wrong... maybe some copying/pasting is required

Cookie,

Doh! You are right.

I have had another fiddle under the bonnet of Wikivorce and think that I have fixed the problem properly this time.

Ian
