I'll do the honors: Page 73 post 1

Edit: And indeed, now page 72 shows up.

Mod edit:  Post 2130

72 x 30 = 2160

1 post on page 73.

2130 - 1 = 2129

2160 - 2129 = 31...

31 missing posts...

Post 2131

But now of course page 73 is not showing up ....

I think that DTP may well have the honours of actually clocking the PFB... and that his CJ has become the first thread on ST to attain permanent PFB status!

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

sorry to kinda spam this thread, but I guess we were anyways... So the PFB directly related to the number of deleted posts, interesting... it makes perfect sense too..

Yup it would appear that way.   Other PFB threads that I have done the maths on confirm this as well...   but er... we better give DTP back his thread before we bust it completely... 

[Eʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ 273]

ya more like out of control thread hijacking, so how are you going to do it now? Are you going to delete the posts and create extreme PFB or keep the thread with all the spam, and only have minor PFB... hmmm... tough descision. Ok I'll let you decide now

[Boggy1 45]

Spamming? This ain't spamming! You guys should have seen us in the uber-secret-not-going-to-tell-you-where-it-is Forum last night, where we and the other Staff were testing out the Page Flip Bug. Let's just say that two hours previously I had 1906 posts. Now..well, now I have over 2000.

[sim-Al2 4]

Wow... You guys have offically killed the front page. xD

[WillR116 60]

Abcvs, you should be kicked off, thats a little more than double posting, like double deci posting, JK, but I was sayin that.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

heheheh.... glad my thread can contribute to taming this menace.

And Craig, not sure if that's an honor or not?

[SC4 meister 7]

What the crap are you guys doing?!?! You've taken over the recent topics ticker...

[Haljackey 17,302]

Ok let me get this straight,

abcvs posted in Virgin Shores and concluded it had a 31 post page flip bug.

Because there are 30 posts per page, you cannot see the next page because the number of posts it takes to kill the bug exceeds the number of posts in a page.

---

Then boggy1 posted (at least 23) times to flip it again and just deleted them.

I assume;

31+23=54.

-That means Virgin shores could very well have a 54 post page flip bug.

If it exceeds 60, than the last two pages will not be seen because 2 pages contain 60 posts.

Just a theory of mine.

I would recommend not do any more testing here. I don't think this thread could handle another test.

I really hope this is solved. If 6.0 gets rid of the page flip bug, then that get rid of the problem. It seems like the only way now.

Hope this makes sense to you!

Best,

-Haljackey

[Boggy1 45]

I..I...I thought that maybe I could fix the bug by posting over the page..and...then...and I... ;___:

[Haljackey 17,302]

...You deleted them.

That's exactly what causes the page flip bug according to abcvs. He said there were 31 posts missing from this tread. He tested it to flip the page. He was correct. He then did not delete his posts knowing that if he did, it would get worse by 1 post for every post he deleted.

Seeing that you posted at least 23 times (I don't recall the actual figure), and then deleted them, the page flip bug in this thread has significantly worsened.

There is no need to do a test to prove this. Abcvs just did a test to prove it, and then you did another test for some reason and then deleted them.

Please understand this.

Best,

-Haljackey

Well. That was interesting...

Oh the rolly scrolly thing?   Yeah that happens because at that point the last 30 'recent' replies were all here in Virgin Shores...

If a thread gets merged into another one the same thing happens and it throws the recent reply window into a temporary meltdown.

[SounderBruce 173]

Maybe around 100 pages, DTP could start a second thread for VS, like Schulmanator did for Schulmania!

[tyalka93 0]

Rolly Scrolly thing? That thing is so useful. I thought maybe someone pressed reply way too many times.

And temporary meltdown isn't a good enough word.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Ok..... my thread has been mutilated! (You're fine boggy and Craig!) So is there seriously going to be a 54-post pfb now? I think if that is the case it might be time for a second thread...

Well that's what we are trying to figure out.  If my calculations are right, you could have a 54+ post page flip bug if nothing was done to resolve this problem. 

If ST 6.0 fixes the page flip bug, you won't need to start another thread.

Like your CJ, mine has been turned into a construction site as well.  Just hang in there until the upgrades are complete!

[Follarch 326]

...I've always wondered what 6.0 will look like. Will there be a different skin? Or just better features and everything will look relatively the same.

Anyway, your threads been mutilated? Did the zombies get to it? Darn zombies...

[un1 41]

Well if PFB isn't fixed by ST 6.0, I think a second thread is needed.

[deathtopumpkins 43]

And after a PM from craig I have decided to create a second thread corresponding with update 31. EDIT: When did that CML get there?

[Korot 6]

But, if posts are deleted, then we shouldn't be able to see the post, and as thus there should be no problem.

Example: I post until page 73 appears, this sends the post counter up to 2190/1, which it should, but if I deleted them afterwards, the post should be invisible and the post counter resets, for that it should act like nothing happened, right?

Edit: And how are you going to call this thread DTP? VS v2?

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Well from what Craig said what we would probably do is create a new thread and merge the two, so I would still have all posts in the same thread, and it wouldn't have the pfb like all other new threads they've tried.

And btw, this IS VS v2

[tyalka93 0]

DTP, you just fried my remaining five (or six) brain cells.

And you boggy. And haljackey. And abcvs.

Thanks for that. Now please, let me regrow some in my garden.

[Philadelphia 25]
