Sometimes the threads take a while to update... Somehoe the system ackowledges the presence of new posts but doesn't display them in the thread itself... Go figure...

Well, I did take over 1 and a half week with the Nintendo DS thread. So i thought I should be vocal about this one. :) However, everything's back to normal now. But thanks for the explanation anyway.
 
It has to do with deletions. If somebody deletes their reply, then it screws up the pagination stuff.
 
I deleted a couple of my replies. Luckily, no one saw them before they were gone.

Basically I think the page ennumeration allots pages based on total comments present while the page assignments are static and are based on all comments made. You could end up with a scenario where Page 1 has 19 comments (1 deleted), Page 2 has 17 comments (3 deleted) and Page 3 has 2 comments, for 38 total present comments in the thread - therefore only two pages will selectable.
