Look at this thread, http://beta.vbulletin.com/vb3/showthread.php?threadid=436 notice how it has 6 pages of posts. If I turn the URL into http://beta.vbulletin.com/vb3/showthread.php?threadid=436&perpage=999999 it shows every post in the thread, this could put a big strain on the server. vB2 is also effected by this.

I thought we had fixed that awhile ago

I have a feeling the thread listing page is also affected by this but I was unable to test it.

Thanks for the update freddie, I have already applied the fix for my message board, I just want to make sure the code gets in vB3.
