Two loops, broken pagination

    Here I have two loops each displaying 5 posts, this all works seemingly well until the navigation is brought into the equation, unfortunately far back you go in blog posts the second loop still displays the same 5 posts on every page.

    I have read through the codex and added bits to the code (like paged) in the second loop but it still doesn’t seem to help

    <?php
global $query_string;
$posts = query_posts($query_string.'posts_per_page=5') ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>

<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts($query_string.'&showposts=5&offset=5&paged='.$paged); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>		

<?php posts_nav_link(); ?>

    What I am looking for is for both loops to go back/forward when clicking ‘next/previous page’
    any assistance appreciated.

    It can be quite complicated to paginate two separate loops.

    Both of your loops look the same. Perhaps what you want to do can be accomplished with a single loop and a counter.

    Can you describe what you are trying to do with the separate loops?

    I see, yes they are basically the same other then the offset.
    I just want to have them in separate divs for a column layout

    Here is sample code showing how to display posts in two columns, newspaper style:

    <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=10&paged='.$paged);
$posts_per_column = ceil(sizeof($wp_query->posts) / 2); ?>

<div class='left-column'>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   if ( $post_count++ == $posts_per_column ) {
      echo "\n</div><!-- .left-column -->\n<div class='right-column'>\n";
   }
   // Display your post here
endwhile;
echo "\n</div><--! end columns -->\n";
