Returning to the forum rather than the thread!

[Lindsay]

How do I go about setting it up so that when my members post in a thread when they are finished it automatically sends them to the the forum rather than the thread they just posted to?? Does that make sense??

Thanks a ton!

If there has already been a post on this, just redirect me to the post, I can follow instructions from there! :)

Nobody??? ;)

I'd quite like this info too - and haven't found it searching here.

However, at www.vbulletin.com, I did find this:

Post redirect (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81598)

It's a really old thread though - pre vB3. So not sure if it can be applied to vB3.

Does anyone know an easy way to do this for vB3?

Thanks.

Lindsay, try this:

in newreply.php find the condition which redirects to $url (around line 243). Delete the first part of the arguement, leaving just the else code. This will redirect to the forum instead of the thread. I'd recommend you back up your newreply.php BEFORE you follow this suggestion.

Works for me. Hope it works for you too.

The words "blind", "leading" and "blind" spring to mind. So if anyone else can verify this I'd be grateful.

Thanks.
