Very Minor Inconvenience: Strange Behavior with Paging in a Thread
I haven't seen anything posted here, so I thought I would bring it up. I've noticed the following behavior recently on threads that reach the end of a "page". My apologies for trying to describe this behavior and let me know if I'm not being clear
My default page post per page size is set to 15. When viewing a thread, if I were up to the post per page limit I would only see (# of posts / posts per page limit) pages . However, I have recently noticed that I am now starting to see an extra page. However, when I click on that last page number directly, or hit next to go to that last page number, I instead end up back on the preceding page.
For example, a thread with 165 pages and a post per page limit of 15 would result in 11 pages. However, I'm currently getting 12 pages, but when I click on page 12 I'm actually taken to page 11. Likewise, if I'm on page 11 and click the arrow to take me to the next page, I'm brought back to page 11.
It's not critical to the functioning of the site, but it seems like a minor bug that I'd report, since I would imagine this isn't the intended behavior.

Has anyone else been running into this?
One possibility of what maybe happening cmdinnyc, if there is only a single post on that last page and it so happens that a moderator deletes a post with that thread it would cut out a page and place that last post onto what would be the 11th page in your example. I'm not sure that this is what is happening, but this is my best guess at what might be going on at this point.
