What's the point of taking me back to my thread?

[tennis4you]

just curious, what is the point of taking the viewer to his/her post right after they submit a new thread or a reply? It just means I have to scroll to the top and click to go back to the page I want to go to. I don't need to read my post, I just wrote it and I know what it says. :)

Well, most people like the assurance that it worked and showed up. Some like to proofread quickly. :)

Really, this is a standard feature in vBulletin, the industry leader in forums/message boards software. I think you're the only one who has a problem with this... and I'm not even sure how difficult it would be to change it and make it go back to the main board.

The industry leader in cookie cutter ripoffs is more like it... :D

Like Lee said, I don't like that in between page. It's kinda annoying, but ohter than that, no biggie.

The transfer page is harmless and as far as I know, cannot be removed. Nothing is automatic. You guys are getting a little spoiled - compare the features, speed, and stability of this software to others and you'll see my point. :)

I know, I know. It's harmless. It's just kinda annoying seeing that page there and waiting on my slooooooow modem to see my post.

I was just joking. :P What I meant didn't come across correctly. I'm saying that you won't find a better system for message boards posting than vBulletin - not referring specifically to the SCMB, but what it runs on. Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah I like that idea, that you're actually taken back to the thread that you just posted to. It assures me that the post I just worked on actually got posted.

I've had the experience on other message boards before where I worked on a long post and I thought I posted it but when I checked on it a few hours later, I found out it never got posted.

I thought I got the "in between" page... and I thought I actually saw the page my post was on... but it wasn't there a few hours later....... (plays X-Files theme song)

[Brandon]

I don't know, that's never happened to me before. Of course, you've had more chances with your 2000+ posts Lee.

[NickHammy]

It's happened to me, but it turns out....(bad guy music)...Marc deleted them...:(

[SC-Jared]

I like our board right now, as is. It's good to see that your post made it through.
