Why are some topics on more than one page?

Ok, mylot really frustrates me at times. I go thru page after page to find topics I want to respond to. But, often the topics that were on the first page or two are on later pages as well. Why? Why do they switch around like that? If I've already gone thru the topics on page one, why do they have to show some of the same ones on page 10? Is it so that everyone will have a chance at each topic? But thats just frustrating! Just now I went thru 10 pages at the bottom. I noticed several of the topics were on all TEN pages. If I didn't want to respond to it on page one, I certainly won't change my mind by page 10. LOL

I have NO clue why they do that, but I see that even with my unresolved discussions and other stuff some flaw in the program

Hi tess! I have noticed that too! I have no idea why some of the topics show up on more than one page! And I thought the same thing! If I didn't want to respond on the first time I saw it then why would I want to see it over and over again? With so many mylotters you would think that they wouldn't have to repeat topics? I have no idea why they do this, but it is really annoying!

Glad to know I'm not the only one annoyed by this quirk.

Yeah , I too have seen this anomaly . It might be something to do with their Pagination Program that repeats certain discussions .

I have noticed the same thing and have also wondered about it happening. It doesn't really make sense unless of course the person who posted the topic entered many different tags. Could they then enter it five times or something? I really don't know. I know they have there reasons - it is just that we do not know them I suppose.

I never thought about maybe it happening because of multiple tags. Perhaps thats why.
