Refresh after posting (alternative??)
Hi

Are you going to make it an option as to where to return the user after they post a message? It would be nice to bypass that message sent confirmation screen altogether and head straight back to the thread list.

Thanks

hmmm something like --

post message | post and return ....
???? a little confusing possibly ... I don't find it that much of a hassle ... I'd rather have the link bugs fixed first ...

I just noticed with the new Hotmail. You have an option:

Return to message notification screen after posting
Retrun to message list after posting.

It would save me a second every time to have the second turned on. That's quite a few seconds in a day ;-)

Yeah, you're right, last night after shutting down the computer I thought have a second choice would be nice especially for people on slower lines. Those few seconds would eventually added up wouldn't they !

Well, I think that the refresh rate is just set for too long. Half that time would be great.

Thats to give people time to select an option from the drop down menu if they wish.

I like this idea... the confirmation page is a hassle. Also, the option (profile) to go to the message/thread, or forum. Good ideas.

Hi,

We are thinking of adding an option:

After Posting:

1. Display Confirmation Screen
2. Display Confirmation Screen and Refresh to Post List
3. Display Confirmation Screen and Refresh to Message View
4. Straight to Post List
5. Straight to Message View

What do you think?

Cheers,

Alex

Alex, those user options would be helpful, but the user still needs to have an option when posting to return to the thread instead of just the forum list. What a user wants to do changes with the thread. With some threads, the user only wants to add a reply at the end, in which case returning to the thread is unnecessary. In other cases, however, the user wants to reply to several messages in a thread, in which case returning to the forum list after every posting is annoying. This latter situation is much more likely to occur with a threaded board or where people have the threaded option, as they do with this forum.

My 2 cents.
