Hello

This is about another thing I consider rather basic since all other forum software do it. I would like a user to be redirected to the post he just wrote after its submission, instead of back to the original (topic starter) post.

Related to that I would like links on forum topic list to lead to the new topics if there are any or last post, instead of the first original topic starter post.

My guess is that the first above may be possible by modifying (or overriding) a function responsible for submitting a post and what happens after that, of course, where we should change a link to one that must point to that post using its anchor (#comment-).

Also the second might be possible by putting the theme_forum_topic_list function in a template.php and modify it by putting a conditional in that would check if the topic it is linking to has any new posts. If it does it would link to that and if not it will link to the last comment.

I really hope I can get some insight on this soon and without waiting days... I would like to get my site rolling and these little features still mean alot to my users. These are, among many other improvements, things I believe drupal forums should do by default and I hope that some day they will. I need it right now though and I'm sure someone there has a clue how to do it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Daniel
