I see that gradient has noticed,

When I click on the second page of a thread....like the LWITG above for
example......there is NOTHING on the second page!!!! 

I see that ColdWarTendencies has observed,

I totally agree , We click 2 to go to last page & there's nothing there

I see that NightGallery has also observed,

I know what grad is saying. I have had it happen a few times.
You click on last page in a thread and its empty. It seems to happen
often with the actual "last page" link for me.

I also see it happen several times each week. 

That's at least 4 different people who see this error happen ... frequently
enough to mention it here.  ... and since no two people on the internet can
agree which browser to use, the error has probably been seen in more than
one browser.  Therefore the problem is neither related to which browser is
being used, nor will it be fixed by changing browsers ... the problem originates
on the renderosity servers. 

Most certainly, it is a consequence of how renderosity calculates that a page
of responses in a message thread is "full" ... when that determination is made,
an additional link is indicated e.g. "[ Goto Page: 1, 2 ]"; or "[ Goto Page: 1, 2, 3 ]". 
OTOH, the renderosity forum code should not indicate that last link unless
there is actually at least one message in that final page. 

BTW this condition heals itself (corrects itself) as soon as an additional message
is posted to the thread.  That might make it difficult for another observer to view the
condition ... but the condition actually does occur.
