Quotedaniel see updated post above yours. Ok, I see what happened. But this points out to a small problem...our threads seem to be really long.

Quotedaniel i noticed that upon posting a message, the site redirects you back to the page preceding the post, rather than letting you view your post. is this a personal setting for each user or is it a setting for the forum in general?
