filtering has to look at all the posts in the whole thread to know how to do pagination
for huge threads this is very inefficient cuz it has to grab tons of posts for every page
the white screen thing is the db hitting the usage limits and retrying, it will time out eventually (3 minutes or something iirc). refreshing makes it worse, closing doesn’t matter (yet?), just wait. the DB has auto-scaling enabled so worst case scenario this will happen for a couple minutes then go away
this is why I didn’t have paged filtering at first
anyway there’s not much I could do besides cache the page info in memory for a little bit, which is what I’ll have to do probably, but it’ll make things more complex
