Does anybody else find this annoying?

Maybe this belongs in a note to Max, but I'm not sure he has any control over it.

Whenever I post to a thread my machine returns me to the Forum Home and I have to go through the whole checkout thing again to check for any other posts that might have been done while I was writing.

Is there a way around this?

That's been the same with me for a good few months now, it doesn't happen when I use the box at work though? Barry

David, Max is the man to ask but I must admit that if I had a choice, I woould prefer to be taken back to the updated thread than back to the main threads page.

In addition to your point, I also like to see what I have written after it has posted (in case of errors that I have not spotted - particularly when using HTML) and also, although I can't see a way for Max getting round this one, I find it useful returning to a thread I have just posted to as the link then shows up as having been visited so I know I don't need to go back until it turns back to blue after a refresh.

I've just been sent to the main threads page. To be honest it had never occurred to me that this happened, but having posted to another thread after reading this one, I made note. I can't decide if I find it annoying or not because I am not a "prolific poster". I think I would want to return to the updated thread if I was indulging in a fairly rapid exchange of ideas. But as Jon previously stated you can tell by the number of postings if anyone else is active on that particular thread.

I use the "new messages since last visit" option. When I post a message, I use the "back" button on my browser to return to it. (I've heard other people have problems with "back" buttons, but this works for me.) I can then hit "refresh" to see that my post shows up.
