Very nice work, Firefly! You've got two approachs there that forum admins might decide to use.

It would be great to have this in the user profile, but there is something to be said for having it selected from newreply, as in some cases someone might be replying to different posts in a thread as they go and want to return to the thread, while in other cases they might be making only one reply or making their last reply and want to return to the forum.

I can't say I see where someone starting a newthread would want to return to their new post, unless to check it. With Preview, though, it doesn't seem necessary.

So, maybe what would work best is to let the user set a default behavior but then be able to also change it from the posting pages. Heh, not too much to ask, right?

I've seen UBB hacks that let the poster select where to go from the redirect message, but usually it flies by too fast for people to make the selection or pauses in which case it usually becomes annoying to be forced to click.
