BTW, if you look at the forum index, it will show "61 Replies" after this post of mine is submitted and becomes Post#57. The post/page index for this thread is and has been out of sync for some time now it gives us phantom page phenomenon. Sigh!
RE: Phantom pages...

There's ultimately little we can do. Tech runs a "cleanup script" that hopefully fixes pagination, but sometimes it only lasts a short time. Ultimately it is just a minor annoyance that doesn't actually affect the content you can see at all; you'll never be kept from seeing a post that's on a phantom page, because the phantom page is just that-- it has no content & doesn't really exist. Keeping that in mind and just accepting it are about the best we can do right now. I'm hoping that a future iteration of the software fixes this.
