In the STANDARD_REDIRECT templeat find:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=$url" />

(Hehe first post)

So the only thing you did was change the number "2" to "1"? Thats all?

[bashy]

Can you ellaborate on this please?
Why does changing the number make it faster..

What exactly goes faster...?

[DrewM]

Darkfire122333 : yep that's all!
bashy: The redirect it's a simple mod it just increaces the speed.

To make it even faster: Disable redirect pages ;)

To make it even faster: Disable redirect pages ;)
But that doesn't disable ALL redir.pages.
Some are still shown (as stated in the according options description)....

I'd like something that removes ALL of them :D

[Andreas]

Yes, some are still shown - as they are necessary to give feedback (otherwise people tend to think nothing has happened).

Also, there are cases where there is POST data that has to be carried over, which would not work with a header redirect.

Though, you can sort out those that are only done for feedback purposes:

redirect_generic

if (!headers_sent() AND !$vbulletin->GPC['postvars'])
{
exec_header_redirect($vbulletin->url);
}
