Users should come to the Embassy to make all suggestions, bug reports, complaints, and anything else relating to the forum itself. The Embassy Control staff will take all issues seriously. Or kill you. One of the two. Possibly both.
For the second time in a day I've seen the page-count on the Bulldrek forum for the Word Association thread being off. It says that it has x pages, when it's in fact x-1 pages. It's when it hits the last post on a page. I don't know if I'm being clear, if not, let me know, I'll try to give a more elaborate example.
No, you're not being at all unclear. You also cannot, around that new page time, use certain methods to get into the thread. It's a known issue, legacy of a day when they actually completely broke the thread, and Kai fixed it. This is as good as it gets. Kind of an icon for Bulldrek, really.
