A message board thread I am viewing has 189 replies. On the topic listing page, below the title of the thread in question the pages are listed as "Page 1, 2, 3 ...last." Usually when I click on a thread and there are multiple pages, there is are "next" and "previous" links that allow you to navigate through all of the replies. For this thread, though, none of that appears. I can only navigate through the pages by returning to the topic index page, and clicking on the "1," "2," "3" and "...last," so I only get the first three pages and the very last page. I can find no way to access the pages in between.

I had some luck by using the mobile site on my phone, but while I was able to see more content than I could see on the full site for this particular thread, I could only access ~ sixty of the 189 replies (i.e., the "next 20" button only appeared two times as I scrolled through the replies).

Here is the thread in question: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/b...

P.S. I checked the boards of a couple other shows, and those had the page navigation buttons at the top and bottom of the thread, so the problem is not with the entire site. Maybe it's just the Breaking Bad board?

HI Joellen McGruder,

i am able to replicate the problem you reported.

According to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/b... this thread has 189 posted and was last active 13 hours ago.

I can manually navigate the four pages of this thread by hacking the link (URL):

Breaking Bad (2008) is likely to be the most active board at the moment with 190,748 posts. The next highest board I could find is Contributors Help (http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000042/t...) with 156,243 posts. That board does not appear to have that problem. I checked a few other boards and none of them were missing the page navigation.

I also noticed another problem with the Breaking Bad message board: The page navigation does not work for the list of threads beyond page 101: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/b...

The Contributors Help message board also has this problem.

The page navigation works properly at the bottom of the page, but is corrupted at the top of the page.

The page navigation for the list of threads stops working on page 460:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/b...

There are currently 467 pages for the list of threads.

This should be (finally) fixed now, sorry for the delay.
