Sometimes when a thread has more than one page going to the last page brings up a blank page. and the drop-down page number box has nothing in it.



See attached.

This is because the other forums allowed users to rename themselves.



Unless a user comes forward and tells me what they changed their name too and what they are now their threads sit hidden as the system can't show them without a user to assign to.



The issue is easy to fix between apollo forums as they use the same user id's for all forums and other TGC services. But vanilla annoyingly used a custom user id with no link back to the old user id.



This is why you see blank pages because the system sees many more posts than it can really show.



The only way to fix this is to translate all the old user id numbers to the right ones.



This issue will remove itself slowly as threads die off or as people tell me the info I need. After a while I will assign all lost posts to an anonymous user so they can be searched and read but not edited.



Hope tat all makes sense, it is not a bug but a forum transfer issue I did not foresee.

Right, got you.

Thanks for that explanation - it covers some complaints I'd had about a few threads here and there.
