1 ... 3, 4, 5

Just a nitpick, but it's always annoyed me seeing this pointless shortening. Clearly there is room to add a 2 in there, so why isn't it?

Wait, are you talking about the /viewforum/php?f="x"?

It's more for posts that have 10 more or so pages, so it gives you the option to click on the first page, then the last three. If there's only 5 pages to the thread it'll default to 1...3,4,5 since it's just following the same script.

The code defaults to 4 pages being linked to. The first page, and the last 3. If there are 5 pages, then the second page is left out.

Still, Sherl0k, it looks stupid as hell.

yes, but coding a special case where

if (numpages == 5)
{
//show only 3 pages, 1..4, 5
}

or

if (numpages == 5)
{
//show all 5 pages 1,2,3,4,5
}

makes the code look stupid.

it's not something vital for the boards to work... aesthetic issue, and no one really cared to get that in consideration

It's an issue with phpBB itself, not this particular message board.
