I see that TwoPynts is concerned about this issue and asked,

Perhaps it is browser related?

Yes, of course it is browser related ... you have to use a browser to see this problem. 

Let's review the facts ...

1. a thread may hint that there are 2 pages of messages ... e.g.

DITTI March 3,2008
2008 Mar 03 6:24 pm [ Goto Page: 1, 2 ]

2. However, upon accessing the link for page 2, there is no message. 

(this specific example doesn't work right now ... so there ... [grin])

IMNSHO, it would seem that the code that generates the Forum page
and the links to the various active threads generates links to page 1,
... page 2, etc,  ... when there are 30, or 60, or some multiple of 30
messages in the thread. 

OTOH, it shouldn't generate that last link when the count is an
exact multiple of 30. 

Please pass this observation along to "The Programmers".
