JennyO, the "post page" probably redirects to the main page (threads.cfm) when it has done it's job.

There are workarounds to this. The Annexe for example offers 2 views although the one view, more in common with other systems such as the popular UBB one is probably never used.

After a post is made, I redirect to a small page, default.asp. It relies on a cookie bieng set. Here is the actual code I use:

  'this bit tries to set a cookie when "switch mode" is clicked
  select case Request.QueryString("mode")
    case "1"
      Response.Cookies("mode") = 1
      Response.Redirect("default1.asp")
    case "2"
      Response.Cookies("mode") = 2
      Response.Redirect("default2.asp")
  end select
  
  'this bit checks the cookie setting and moves the user
  select case Request.Cookies("mode")
    case "2"
      Response.Redirect("default2.asp")
    case else
      Response.Redirect("default1.asp")
  end select

I've no doubt there are better solutions but this one works for us.
