What happens to the old posts?

I have searched a forum and found some post they go like 1st,2nd,3rd etc Last page. I click Last page and it shows no matches.
Is there a way to view those posts?

 

Strange. Never happened with me.

Just see which page the "last page" link is pointing to. Go to the previous page by directly typing in the browser.

 

i see.
It works that way!
Thank you.

What exactly are you searching for?

 

I clicked user name and get all his posts.
Then I get like 25 pages of his posts.
so I click last and it give me no matches or gives the post. it is 50/50.

Well, this happens as a result of a MySQL query wrongly interpreted. The first result ID is 0 in the database, and the last page you're looking for has the result, let's say, 50/50. But if the database starts from 0, the last page is 49, so here's the explanation.

It's more actually, but that's just a quick answer. The end results are on 49, not on 50.
