Why do I get sent back to the message index instead of my message when posting?

[Joseph Fung]

No, it is not a bug.  This is because of how the flags are created.  There is no way to make the new flags "perfect" but having the user returned to the message index results in fewer erroneous new flags.

A better flagging system is in development, at which point we may change the redirection (or make it a selectable option).

Any update on this or information how to change it anyway? What do I have to change to go back into the thread where I made the reply instead of the thread overview or message index how you call it?

or make it a selectable option

this would be preferred. i actually like going to the message index. i dont need to see my post added to the others. that's what the preview button is for (sorta)

You can change it in Post.php.  It had been posted before but let me take a peek.  There is a line commented out that redirects the user and it can be edited so that you are sent wherever your heart desires

  I've read the file over and over again but can't find this line. Please give me another hint and let me see the light

[Jeff Lewis]

I already posted a message about this around here...not sure where.  Look in Post.php and look for a commented out line near the bottom of the Post2 function.

Thanks, I found it

Find this in post.php:

Code Select Expand

//   $yySetLocation = "$cgi;board=$board;action=display;threadid=$thread";
     $yySetLocation = "$cgi";
   redirectexit();

and change it to

Code Select Expand

     $yySetLocation = "$cgi;board=$board;action=display;threadid=$thread";
//   $yySetLocation = "$cgi";
   redirectexit();
Thank you, Jeff!
