A couple of times this week I’ve been searching for an old thread of mine and gotten caught up in re-reading a bunch of others. I have about 25 pages of threads and when I get a few pages into them I suddenly start getting a “no matches found” screen. I’m not performign a search when this comes up, I’m just clicking on a page number. And it’s always a page number I’ve already looked at (the link shows as clicked). Anyone else finding this? ---

I should clarify. I’m not having trouble navigating within threads. I’m having trouble getting from one page’s display of thread titles to another. ---

Might have something to do with this already reported problem: [Search IDs expire too soon](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=309768) your humble TubaDiva
