Hey everyone,
I have added a feature that will be of no use to many of you, but great use to some. When you post a new topic or a reply, a screen shows briefly while the topic is updated, and then you are automatically sent to the topic you just changed. However, in some cases you may not want to do that. Now, if you look closely on that screen you will find links to take you back to the top level forum page, or in the case of a reply, a link at the bottom to take you to the next oldest topic.
The "next oldest topic" link will be useful to some of the wonderful participants who answer many questions in the Technical Support area; it lets you answer one thread and then immediately move to the next in the list without waiting for the one you just replied to, to be reloaded.
Let me know if you find it useful.
Note that you have to be fairly "quick on the mouse" to override the default automatic reload. If people find this feature useful but think there isn't enough time to choose, tell me and I will change the refresh time (which is currently only a few seconds). Thanks.
P.S. Nobody is using the "Track Topic" feature; is it just not needed, or perhaps I didn't implement it correctly? http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
