- Automatically take you to the thread you just made a post in?
- Show you which threads you've responded in?
- Have icons for HTML formatting ?

This is the only site PHP site I've ever been on where those three features are disabled. It takes some user-friendliness out of the experience. Any reason we can't have it put back in?

I like that idea because I allways check how my post formated anyway.

Actually, it's as simple as clicking "View Message you just posted" after you post. Also, to check for new posts, click Preview, and you'll notice in the previous posts that it'll update.

I think thats what he and I are doing clicking the "View Message you just posted"
What were saying is that page/click option should not appear it should automatically go to the thread without us clicking anything.

KBABZ, the issue here is that the ability exists for the site to take you back to your message on its own without having to click. Alex has chosen to disable that and make you decide where you want to go after you post.
