Boofo please release these changes to me so I can include them in the next version. It will save me some time. I had all that stuff planned as it was but I was just running short on time.

This is useful, just like in IPBoards..

I installed this and it looks great, but my users are no longer redirected to the thread right away upon posting, another screen pops up (that we all hate), I can't figure out what's causing this.

I updated this hack, you can see it in this forum.

There are quite a few new features planned for this hack. I will be making this hack fully rounded this time by fixing the problems that others have had to fix and by adding in even more features to improve the usefulness of this hack
