I have simplenews and simplenews_roles installed and running great. I have it so anonymous users can subscribe to a newsletter through a block on the homepage. It works fine, but it just reloads the page after they submit and i think that can be confusing for people, I thought it wasn't working till I got the email to confirm. I would like it to go to a thank you page saying an email has been sent and they need to confirm there subscription. Can I edit something in the module, or is there a better way so I don't have to edit the module?

I tried looking in the simplenews module code but couldn't find anything, any ideas?

I found that I didn't have message code on my front page, which prints a message about a confirmation email, which is great.

<?php if ($messages != ""): ?>
       <?php print $messages ?>
<?php endif; ?>

In my case I have another problem, the page isn't reloads. There're just blank page after submit.
The $message field is in my template and working fine for other cases.
But if I go back on previous page and reload it I get error message about "headers already sent" and status message of simplenews before it.
What can I do to fix this situation?

How did you set it up so anonymous users can signup without registering?

Is there a way to have it print a message only in the block the the sign up is in? Currently I have the SimpleNews block in the left column. When any anonymous user signs up it puts the message at the top of the page where the content is. This is fine for most message, but I would like one specifically for the SimpleNews block to be in the block the sign us is in. I found that most users are not noticing it when it is at the top of the content and keep hitting submit. Thanks.
