Can't seem to get to page 745. Making a post to see if it's me or the internet.

I find this often happens. It shows one more page than there is, so as you say, no, you can't get to it because technically speaking it doesn't exist. Not until someone makes a post. Like you did. And now it's live.

Yes, I've had that same experience: click on the last page number shown in that little row of boxes, and it throws you back to the previous page.
At first I thought it meant that someone was at that very moment posting or editing a message, but as it can stay that way for a long time, I rejected my theory although I had nothing to replace it with.
Currently reading Voodoo Histories, about conspiracy theories, I now realize that it is a glitch caused by the CIA/Mossad monitoring of MB.

yep regularly happens to me too. this trashy website lol

Well it's 8 posts a page. But rather than have a page with one post, it seems to house a 9th post on a page until a 10th exists.

No idea why, and I'm sure there's a wonky html reason, but that's how it was back when I was a younger man. But I've never noticed it produces a new page number in the bottom right.

Never happened to me, but this thread is on page 249 for me so I guess I have different settings.

At my old forum, we used to call them gremlins. I suspect a lot of forum have that problem with pages.

No wonder Merit got banned.

This is what I am reading right now. It's very interesting. I am not really afraid of death. If I died today I would have no regrets. But love the life that I have.
