Over the past month or so I would say, I noticed that a lot of the time, when I go to the last page or post of a forum, it takes me to a blank page. It's really annoying now, can some one fix it?

Hmm... I know of another forum I was on before that had the same thing.

If you go to the last page of one of the forums, there would be posts by random people from December 31, 1969. If you put your mouse on top of them they say stuff like "Super Bowl XL tomorrow night!" but then if you click on them it goes to a 404 page.

Quite weird, not too sure of the significance of the date.

I've run into those glitches quite a few times. They're rather obnoxious, but I've grown to live with them.

@ Sebi: A glitch is where something is programmed to do one thing, but ends up doing something different, or just plain doesn't make sense(To put it in as laymen's terms as I can), I.E. Falling through the ground where there is no visible hole.

Anytime, friend. =)

Incidentally, I ran into the last post glitch while trying to enter this thread... and clicking refresh didn't work like it usually does.

Incidentally, I found out that clicking refresh tends to fix it, as well as clicking the button for whichever page number you want to go to, so long as there is more than one page.
