I'll confess I haven't read every post in this thread, so if I'm redundant, pls forgive, but one small thing that I think would be nice is if you mark "topics read" you get returned to the board index instead of back to the same forum.

PS - love the quick reply too!

Although I'm sure the admins here could patch the code to return to the index, the right place to suggest it is at the website for phpBB (the software used on this site). Every time they modify the standard code they increase the workload when they are ready to install the next version of phpBB and clearly this idea would be good for any installation of phpBB, not just one for FAH.

OK, thanks for the suggestion. I have no idea how this stuff works. Seems like every forum is a bit different [or sometimes a lot ;-) ].

Thanks for the link. If enough people make the suggestion, any chance they'll listen?

Edit: just visited the site. They're not taking suggestions at the moment.

Still, I've made the change anyway. It was only a one-liner, and when I upgrade the forum I always run `diff` on the code first to easily see what changes I've made.

Thank you ! It's working well.

It's also good to see that we still have the choice to go back to the visited forum by clicking on the link in the page we see before being redirected :)

Yeah, its a board-wide setting rather than a per-user setting.

We've just lost the redirection to the index after hitting "Mark all topic as read" feature ...
