I realise this is awfully pedantic and I apologise for that in advance. It has been bugging me for ages though and I've either got to say something about it now, or explode.

Its the line at the bottom of each page reading:

"There are X Threads in total - Page X of [X]" [go]

Please can I pedantically point out that surely the page number which should be user-altered is the first number and not the second? Isn't the second supposed to be the total number of pages altogether, i.e. a constant? As it stands you can have, say, 5 pages in total on a thread and yet have a statement reading "Page 1 of 3" when you are looking at page 3 of the thread. Surely it should read "Page 3 of 5"??

I entreat you to consider changing this, please please, otherwise everyone may find themselves covered with exploded bear (which is not very nice at all and contrary to popular belief does NOT taste of marzipan).

Sorry but the same observation applies equally to pages within a thread where the sentence reads:

"There are X Messages in total - Page X of [X]" [go]

Please read the Forum Updates sticky thread before posting stuff like this again (because you're about the 8th person to do so).

Cheers,

That thread with 320 posts?

I cannot tell you how how sarcastic that makes me want to be, i'd better shut up as there is competition judging in progress...


God created the world in 7 days, but we're still waiting for the patch.
