    I feel that it is not fun to be redirected to the first page of a multiple page thread when I answer to it. I want to see the last page with my new post! Who agrees?

    [​IMG] I think it is a minor problem. One that I don't wish Tal to spend his time on. But of course if your connection is extremly slow..

    I know it is not that important. That's why I posted it as a poll, and not a direct request for something to be done. Just wanted to see if anyone else are annoyed.

    I think it is pretty anoying, since you have to load the last page again to check for any typo's and things like that. And the loading takes a long time (well, in my case) with those big threads.

    Annoying or not - IIRC the problem is not you or Tal, the problem is in UBB code that automatically does that redirection to first page.

    I really don't know if a hack that resolves this exist.

    I agree, it is annoying, but it's UBB code. There is no hack that would fix it that I know of. But you could always stop it loading before it finishes (it loads the front half with the page numbers linked initially) and just click the last page number. Or just stop the page from loading, and add the number of the last page to the post manually, like 00003636.html, change it to 00003636-6.html

    Yeah, I don't know of any hacks myself either, but I think it is *fairly* minor, I am not completely disregarding the problem, I just think there are more important things.

    I think it's fairly inconvient and I wish it would load the last page but I've been in SP too long to be bothered complaining anymore.

    You realize the inherent irony here is that this post could well become two pages and if you post on the second page, then you're SOL.

    I had a problem once, and....ummm...ah to hell with it:p

    [​IMG] Actually Crawl you got me thinking. We could set this as bait. Muah hah aha. We could keep refering to in our posts that whoever posts the 40th post will have violated what the topic is about and will be awarded the Idiot of the Week sign. You just know it would stop at post #39 and then five months later some newbie would come and ressurect it with pointless information.
    :hahaerr:
    OK I'm going to bed now :p
