I second that, it would be fair enough if people on these boards didn't know what happens after you submit a post as they may think the computer has fell over... But everyone one these boards are inteligent enough to know the way it works.

I like to wait  ...gives me a chance to reflect on my post in a Zen sorta way.

yeah, but its just another hassel.

after making posts here i like to readjust myself in my seat. my hands arent on the mouse! and just think of the dail-up folk, thats one extra page they have to load.

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know of a forum without that screen?

Illout has it too.

here is the line

Code Sample
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; url=http://www.detonate.net/cgi-bin/detnet/ikonboard.cgi?


i think you can set this to "0"

Didja tell DSL?

that line can be changed.
however there are over 100 instances (if i remember correctly) of similar lines that would need to be changed
find and replace all won't help...

and even if that is set to zero, you'll still see the page when it loads.

The reason for that screen is to give the server a chance to generate the new page with your comment added.  If you didn't have that page and it were to load in under a second you'd have half a page, and it would look shoddy.
