Hello,

I have encountered something which looks like it might be a bug, at least it is something that doesn't do what I expect :)

Consider any page with so many comments that they go to more than one page. The one I used was http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?zone=180 but any will do. This particular page has 85 comments.

Now set your filter to only display Good or better, and update. What I *expected* to see was: only the posts rated Good or better. What I *actually* saw was: only the posts FROM PAGE 1 rated Good or better, which in this instance is no posts at all. Clicking to page 2 I then saw only the posts FROM PAGE 2 rated Good or better, in this case just one post.

Should it not be the case that the rating filter is applied *before* the paginating logic? Is this possible and easy?

I don't know how easy it would be to change, but that's the way it's always worked (as far as I know at least). It's the same logic as if you always have your filter set to default, the page will only show non-subdefaults on THAT page. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that the posts are actually being deleted, just not shown. If they actually got deleted by going under a certain score I would assume it could "move" the posts up, but at the moment, that doesn't even work for nuked posts.
