    maths is not my strong point :D

    but I swear earlier, I manually counted the posts, then took the first post number on the page away from the last post number, and it was only coming to 39, so I would post, and it still remained 39! It was like the last post was getting pushed down to another page!

    it was weird! currently on page 42 now BUT have counted 40 posts, so this post should make page 43.... let's see.

    You can say that again :rotfl:

    WHY ?

    THIS POST (the one I'm making now) is number #1657

    1657 / 40 = 41.425

    So we are on page 42 - that 41 pages full of 40 posts = 1640

    and a further 17 posts on page 42

    Page 43 will come into being AFTER 42 x 40 = 1680 have been posted and the 1681st is made

    Are you viewing the thread in a NON LINEAR mode ?

    :doh: of course! I changed my settings so I always see the newest post first. Rather than having to go to the end of the thread to look for new posts.

    thanks quoia! that must have been hard for a sunday evening :D

    well will keep quiet now, because my stuff is out of sync with everyone else:rotfl:
