I see this board uses a method of redirection that requires "Click here if you aren't redirected in X seconds" type screens. These are annoying as they add time to the posting process, require the server to create another HTML page, and break the back button with "This page contains POST data that has expired" etc. My failed board system used another method of redirection that didn't require such screens:
function redirect($url) { header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . '/' . $url); die(); } Could something like that be used here? I remember the above having problems with slashes sometimes, there might be an extra one up there. |

Posted by KernalBut add confirmation that the post was successfully recieved and posted.
Which places no extra strain on the server. Doing what you say would require rewriting most of reply.php to remove the header generation call and place it at the first chanec it could be added without breaking redirection.
Use a browser that doesn't suck ass. I am well aware of this method of redirection (ever tried clicking the mark forum read links?) However I do not see any sort of gain from doing this other than lowering the time it takes to post something, which shouldn't matter at all if you actually put effort into posting. Three seconds don't kill you. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Posted by XkeeperThis should be obvious from seeing the post when it loads, or by there not being an error message displayed.Posted by KernalBut add confirmation that the post was successfully recieved and posted. |

It will often display an old version of the page sans reply.
Hence needless questions as "WHERE IS MY POST?!!!?". (This has happened quite often on "Consumerist", too, I've noticed) ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Dosen't that depen on browser/cache settings though?
I don't see that happening often with Firefox (at least with the settings I currently have) but sometimes it did with IE. Not really a big issue either way as a quick refresh solves that issue. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

There's either a bug in Opera, a flaw in the board's design, or both, because I've used boards that do it this way and never had such a problem. Why would cache cause a problem when newreply.php redirects to the thread, but not when it redirects to a page which redirects to the thread? It doesn't make sense. |

Flurry #&postrank& It wouldn't for either, because it redirects to the post with a post specific URL 
But I still don't mind the redirect page, it gives better confirmation that it worked and it's also easier to code that way ... changing the redirect HTML (meta tag) to an instant redirect won't work if the page isn't empty, and since this would have to be done everywhere for consistency, it'd complicate things ... ____________________ |
