Title: Come back to topic after sending a quick reply
Post by: marco.panichi on November 02, 2013, 08:09:56 AM
Hi to all, this is my first post here.

I've installed SFM 2.0.6 for the first time and created a custom theme (I'm a developer).

I've noticed that if a user send a quick reply to a topic, he's redirected to the section board, instead to the topic.

It is the default behaviour? There is a setting to change this (and redirect the user to the topic)?

If I can change this hardcoding my theme there is no problem, please suggest me where to edit this.

Return to topics after posting by default. - Check this box if you wish to return to the post you just submitted instead of returning to the index of the board you posted the topic in.


returning to the message index is the default action, because it makes sense (I never understood why would anyone want to go back to the topic that they just finished reading?)

Many people will reply to a post before they've read any further, and so would want to return to the topic to read some more. Where exactly to return to is an open question -- to the top of the next page, or to the post after the one you just replied to, or ??
