Was just browsing and I was curious what the old boys were talking about when the forums first started. Only trouble is, I'd end up with Rsi if I keep pressing 'next'! hehe

There are 5000 odd pages in GG alone. Could a mod post a link to page 1 of GG and the P&P?

Hmmm... seems we have found where the millennium bug has been hiding all these years. It's not currently possible to go past page 5000, which is why you cannot get back to the start of General Gassing.

I'll add it to the bugs list and get it fixed soon!

The Page Number text is also wrong - it says page 5,000 of 4,739 at the moment!!

The page number is calculated based on where you/the link asked it to go (i.e. page 5000) rather than the content which is displayed. If you ask it to go past the end of the forum then it just displays the last page instead, hence the easy way of jumping to the last page and (indirectly) the bug you have noticed!
