So if I refer you to what I see as page 4 of a thread, for someone else that may be page 1. That's kind of an aside to point out we need to get in the habit of referring to post numbers rather than thread pages.

If you go to Display Mode, also under Edit Options (or you'll also find it in the black menu bar across the top of the page when viewing the forum home page), try selecting Hybrid Mode. Then at the top you should be able to see Page 1 of 8, etc. Does that do the trick?

Even in non-hybrid mode, you can see the page count in Firefox at least.

From the forum page, just mouse over any "Last Page" link and you'll see an url in the status bar like:

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=40227&page=6

So, 6 pages for that one.
