Try logging in.

If that doesn't fix it, an extra click won't hurt, especially with the faster forums.

Been discussed before.

Number of post to be displayed on a page is a perfect multiple of number of posts in thread

The forum S/W looks at how many posts are in the thread, then the number of posts you have selected per page.
That determines how many pages.

Total_Posts / Posts_per_Page = Number_pages.

To prevent Number_pages from == 0, the S/W automatically increases the page count by 1.
Otherwise integer division would cause
10 posts / 25 posts_per_page = 0.
