   [bug] Number of pages in a thread
  I set the number of threads to show per page higher than the default. So obviously when I'm not logged in threads are shown with more pages than if I am. However, often even when I am logged in, a thread will show as having 8 pages but when I actually click on the thread it only shows 4 pages. Or the thread will have 8 pages one day and 4 the next when I'm logged in both times.   
  I can confirm that this is the case, i have the same problem. I think it also happens when you are already logged in occasionally.   ;  I've seen this happen usually on the first page view of a session. I assume the number of posts per page setting is being read (as Anonymous), then the topic list is set up, then the user login info is being parsed or something (I know that doesn't make much sense).   ;  Speaking of which, a number of people do not realise that if you click on the Link in the bottom-right of a post it'll redirect them to a page number offset that depends on their current pages-per-post setting. (Rather than copy the link directly they click it then copy the redirected link from their address bar). I don't know if there's any way of retaining the original id (and not redirecting)? Alternatively, the number of posts-per-page of the person copying the link ends up in the query string, but this doesn't override the viewer's own setting, which might be an easier way to avoid the issue.   ;  Possibly related to this, I've just noticed that the "new private message" flag isn't updated when just refreshing active topics. I went to check out a thread and suddently got the big wobbling text which told me I'd had a PM for over an hour, althogh I'd been refreshing active topics every few minutes and it had always said "0 New Private Messages".
