See if this works :) Attached my "page 1" and my "page 2" - on page 2 the "1" is still highlighted/selected so you can't go back to page 1 by clicking on it.

Not a big deal obviously can just "jump" to page 1 or reload site.

PS Page 2 is the first picture, page 1 the second of course :D

Can you go to your UCP and switch it to DISPLAY ONLY UNREAD POSTS? I can see you have lots of pages that show up. Could be that we are reaching some limit... :?:

Mayhaps. Will try that and see what happens next time I have more than one page.

Yes, the same thing is happening for me - since the beginning. No matter what page of the 'recent posts' I'm on, it will always indicate I'm on Page 1. And when I'm on a page other than Page 1, I cannot click on the '1' to go back to Page 1 - I have to click on 'Board Index' to get back to Page 1.

As you say, there's an easy 'work-around'... and so there's no urgency to fix it, but it's good to let ponchi know that it's occurring.

Please try to put the recent topics pages on the side. Let me know how that works.
I have it that way and it works fine. Maybe with the update to 3.3.3 this may be a bug, so I can report it.

It was happening with me before the update.

Putting it on the side makes no difference - same thing happens.
I have it set to display 14 per page.

Wonder if that could be. The default setting is 10, which I left that way since everybody can have her own setting.

If I set it to 10 (which I just tried), there's no difference - still the same issue.

I notice that the high limit of this particular setting (number of recent topics to show) is 999. I think it's safe to say that no-one will ever set it to anywhere near that, as it's obviously not practical. Maybe if you set the upper limit to something like 40 or 50 (if you're able to), it might somehow resolve this issue?

If not, don't worry about it. As I said, I've noticed the issue since the beginning, and I didn't feel it was significant enough to mention, as the 'work-around' is easy. But when pt mentioned it, and asked if others are experiencing it, I just figured I'd let both of you know that it's happening with me, too.

Tried both of these options and same issue for me. Just now with only two pages total and in a different spot on the screen. :D

I know by now you must have tried this but: different browser? I think you are using Chrome, Pt.
I am running my site with both Firefox and Edge. I can't think of anything else.

Was there a general problem connecting to the site overnight?
I couldn't connect - was getting 522 and 525 Errors.
I asked a friend to try - same result.

This also happened a few days ago, but only for a few minutes that time. This time, it was hours.

There seems to have been something like that. TOG and I were unable to connect to our server via FTP. Hostinger is no GODADDY, with servers all around.
Keep us posted, just to see how reliable the site is.

Yes I couldn't connect either for hours. I tried around the time Medvedev/Tsitsipas started and even about 20 minutes ago it finally loaded but very very very slowly. Literally minutes to load a page. It did come right up quickly now though.
