Found a new bug, the LastPage multi-page link sends to a 404 error on my board
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforum...hread1780.html (I've replaced my board URL with daniweb)
I double checked the .htaccess. Which template must I check to resolve this bug?
Thanks for your help thus far.

It's supposed to be lastpostinthread, not lastposttothread. DaniWeb doesn't seem to be experiencing this problem? Can you confirm that DaniWeb has the same bug? I'm not sure why it's doing what it's doing, but this should eliminate the problem:
To fix it, in functions.php:
Replace
[php]
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=") . '([0-9]+)' . preg_quote("&goto="). '([a-z]+)"#',[/php]
with
[php]
'#<a ([^>]*)href' . preg_quote("=\"showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=") . '([0-9]+)' . preg_quote("&goto=next"). '([a-z]+)"#',[/php]
Also, replace
[php]'<a \1href="\3tothread\2.html"', [/php]
with
[php]'<a \1href="next\3tothread\2.html"', [/php]
I have edited the first post to reflect this change.

We wanted to make sure that we understand how to correctly install this hack in 3.5.1 before we blow something up :mrgreen:
First we make the .htaccess file, and then we find this code in the includes/functions.php file:
and then we add this below it:
Is that correct
Thank you.
