About:This additional javascript enables modern browsers to forward directly to the next page without needing to load the "middle" acknowledgement page. It removes the "2 second" delay page between new posts, post edits, post deletions...etc. This also eliminates the server building and page downloading of your site's header-page-footer templates, saving a bit of server resources, and bandwidth for the user -- who might be on a data-limited mobile devices.
Because it does not remove the "refresh" meta tag, it keeps the "view post" and "return to the forum" middle-page functionality for older browsers -- which cannot support the "window.location.href" script command. I'm looking at you, IE6!
This is just a quick upgrade in which many users have asked for in the past -- without removing the current functionality for older browsers and browsers with javascript turned off.
How-To:FIND IN libs/html.inc.php:
$meta = "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"{$delay};url=" . make_ubb_url("ubb={$redirect['redirect']}", "", false) . "\" />";REPLACE WITH:
$meta = "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"{$delay};url=" . make_ubb_url("ubb={$redirect['redirect']}", "", false) . "\" /><script type=\"text/javascript\">window.location.href = \"" . make_ubb_url("ubb={$redirect['redirect']}", "", false) . "\"</script>";done.
