You'll get a "Page not found" error; the site thinks there are 680 pages when there are actually only 679.
This does NOT happen when your posts-per-page setting is set to 10. I haven't tested other posts-per-page settings; I figure that if you have an example that works, and one that replicates the issue, that should be enough to troubleshoot.
The page numbers being off is an error that has been around for quite some time, and is related to deleted posts in some of the longer threads.
For example:
https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...y-ads-815.html
Currently lists 816 pages, but only has 815 pages. Clicking on "Last Page" takes one to 815. Likewise, changing the page number in the address bar to anything greater than 815 will take one to the 815 page.
The "Default" appears to be 25 posts per page.
I tried changing my setting to 30 posts per page, and was unable to replicate what you found (PC/firefox).
Is it possible you're hitting a caching (somewhere) issue?
I often like to simply change page numbers in my address bar. If I put in a number past the current number of pages (say 10+ past), and repeatedly use that number, I've found that the system often will keep taking me to the same page number, even if the last page count is increased. If I vary the page number I use, then I go to the last page. This indicates that somewhere the link to the last page is cached.
