    I seem to be getting this message in Skillet's introduction thread, Comes Another....

    View attachment 424

    I'm running Windows 7 on Google Chrome. Figured I'd let you know something is up, at least on my end.

    Now that is very peculiar.It works fine if you click the 'go to last post arrow' but errors should try to traverse from page 1 to 2.How very peculiar indeed. Well thanks for pointing it out, I'll look into it tomorrow. I don't have PC access right now (posting from phone).+ Gems 4 u :)

    Everything leads to a 403 Forbidden error for me, Grey Nightmare. The next page, go to last page, and page jumps all seem to do the same on my end. Thanks for the quick response. I'm happy to help. I've beta tested forum sites before, so I'm not afraid to say, "hey, this right here is acting wonky for me! What do?" I'll be sure to let you know if I stumble upon anything else.

    Ah, glad it hear it wasn't just me like I thought it was. I was having the exact same problem when trying to access the second page of that particular introduction post.

    Hmmmmm when I made a post in the thread it took me to the last page without a problem
    But then when I tried to see it by any other means, it didn't work
    I then tried manually adding the /page3 to the end and it still didn't work, yet this link does work fine (not sure if it'll work for you guys though)

    http://www.everypony.com/forums/showthread.php?420-Comes-Another....&p=8615&posted=1#post8615

    Okay, that's wierd - you can't go to the page normally but if you link a post from the page it works fine:

    http://www.everypony.com/forums/showthread.php?420-Comes-Another....&p=8544&viewfull=1#post8544


    I'm going to try forcing it into the next page with some spam posts, please ignore them - I'll delete them soon enough

    Edit: nope, that doesn't seem to fix it- deleting now

    Yeah, I noticed that myself a few ago. And the link worked. It's just some methods of getting to the second page. The only way I've found that has worked was indeed hitting the "Go the last page" button.

    Edit: Just tried hitting page 3 too to see if it would work, same thing though. Only works if you hit the "Go to last page" button.

    The problem exists for all pages other then 1, like if it goes to page 3 both page 2 and 3 are both bugged

    Yeah, I know. I don't know if it really can be fixed. But at least it's not impossible to get to the other pages.

    DJ Derpy to the rescue! The link works for me, but the "Go To Last Page" button still results in an error for me. Must just be me in that respect, from the sounds of things.

    The tiny blue "Go to last post" button doesn't work for you, Lightning? Huh, that's rather odd. It should. It itself doesn't seem to have any issues, at least from my end.

    It's got issues for me. I still get the same error, even with that button. I even tried going to one of the links up there that work, going back to page 1, and using the button to take me to the last page. Still got the error message.

    ~ Fixed


    Although I have a strong feeling this a vbulletin bug, so I won't go into details (but will contact them about it).

    Update: I've posted in Vbulletin support, I'm wondering what they'll say about the forum as opposed to the problem haha, ponies.

    Update #2: So it is a bug as outlined below, I've renamed the thread (so that works now) if the problem occurs again just contact an admin or mod (should we have any by then) to rename the thread.

    Vbulletin Bug:

    4 or more .'s will result in a 403 forbidden error, the only way to avoid this until a fix becomes apparent is to not use 4 .'s at the end of any thread names!

    Thanks for going through all that effort to figure out the issue, Grey Nightmare! +Gems for you. The thread works great now. "This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction."
