When I use the CCK upload on a forum topic, a successful upload (post caption editing) redirects back to a forum topic "add" page, and gives the user messages:

Create Forum topic

* All images have been saved and published.
* Additonal images can be selected and uploaded now.

This will be confusing for the user,
1) as they can think that their upload was not successful (yes i know it says success, but i don't trust users)
2) saying "Additonal images can be selected and uploaded now." doesn't make sense. You're uploading an image via CCK to a forum post. the point is to make a forum post, not only to simply upload images
3) "additional" is misspelled. :)

I'd think that redirecting back to the forum would make the most sense. Or, redirecting to the node that was just created would work.

Thanks GC, this this is coming along nicely!

This has been talked about elsewhere already and there are some changes coming in this regard.
Maybe it would be a good idea to let the admins configure where you get redirected after a submission. Because in your case you want to go to the forum, somebody else might want to redirect to a gallery overview.
But for the time being, redirecting to the newly created node makes the most sense.

If you have a look at the latest dev, it's possible to set a custom redirect location. But this case still needs some work.
Don't forget to reinstall all fupload related modules if you updated your version to dev.

We have no patch but you could have a look at the CVS Head version.

Now, should be fixed completely. Have a look at CVS Head.
Don't forget to reinstall both "image_fupload" and "image_fupload_imagefield", clear cache and run update.php.

maybe I'm being thick, but when you keep saying "reinstall", you just mean upload the new files to overwrite the old, and run update, right? You don't mean use the uninstall function of the modules menu and then re-install, do you? Thanks for the hand-holding on this one, GC. SXSW has killed my brain.

Normally, it should be enough to run update.php. If it doesn't work, reinstall all "fupload" modules by using reinstall button.
