isn't it possible to just delete the entire posts (number #823-#8xx) instead of only their contents? or does the db-code not allow it?
Argh

okay, i just banned my first IP on func.
If i delete the posts entirely, that would probably screw up the code that assumes the posts are sequential and stuff... i'm not sure exactly, but when i first wrote the DB i decided i didn't want to delete posts.
Now, what i will likely do is censor the posts so that you can't see them. The moderator tools to do that don't exist yet, though.

i've intentionally made the error messages obscure to prevent people from using them to attempt to hack the board. I should probably set up something to log the more descriptive error so that I can see what's happening, but it wasn't something that I thought happened very often or consistently.
Well

That was the first time I had seen that in a long time. It was also the first time a board error ate one of my posts.
Oh Nice

But why does it go backwards in increments of 50 and forwards in 5? Is this some crazy UI Zen you have thought up, meltshine?
Okay

I seem to have gotten thread paging working in its most basic form. By default, links to a thread will show the first 25 posts (instead of all posts.) You can still see all posts by editing the "start" and "end" variables in the URL. If you post to a thread regardless of what page you are viewing, it will bump you forward to show the most recent 25 posts, with your post at the bottom.
- Number of posts per page will eventually be a user preference.
- I might eventually add "first 25" and "last 25" links as well.
- I'm not sure if this thread navigation needs to go both at the top and bottom of the post list or just one place, or what.
- I might need to change the wording of the links on the forum page.

When there are less than 25 next or previous posts, it displays the number of actual next or previous posts. So there were only 5 next posts in that case.
The 50 was because I was playing around. 25 will be the default for now, while I work on getting a user preference for it.
