Forum page bug thing?

    Very descriptive title, I know.

    To recreate:

    1. Search up replies of a user with many replies (e.g. @user 'whdiwdhidhsiddh')

    2. There will be many pages of replies. Try to go back more than 67 pages.

     

    For some reason, I can't go back more than 67 pages of replies.

    Yes, the new search has this problem. My guess is that it happens for posts in deleted threads, but I have no idea. Simon has a long history of not updating the counts in the database when something is deleted.

    I usually use the old post search, it's not as pretty but it doesn't have this bug: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Search/PostsByAuthor.html?Search_Query=jacob1
    It also updates immediately, unlike the new search which may take a while to show the most recent posts.

    Heh that works. Thanks

    EDIT: But why is it always specifically 67 pages? This happens for every user with lots of posts.

    I meant the regular, newer, search.

    Oh I see. Probably some annoying arbitrary limit. Not anything I can do about it ):
