Make "Return to the forum" default.

Suggestion Idea:
As the topic says. I think it's annoying that I practically always end up in the thread I just posted in. I know there are two links whenever a post is made, but 2 or 3 seconds isn't really much time, and frankly, even that screen is a nuisance imo.
People should know what they just posted, there's no need to see it again and make sure the BBCode is not screwed up or something. That's what the "preview" button is there for.

Specifics:
Load the forum page after a post has been made.
For example, if I post in the "Longest thread"-thread I should end up back in the "Water Cooler"-forum.

Why it is needed:
To save time and possibly bandwidth since the threads only have to be loaded half as often as at the moment.

Priority** (1-5): 1

Just so you know, this is really an issue with the forum software (phpbb) and I try to avoid modifying the phpbb code. So I think you'll have to live with it unless they change the behaviour in future versions...

I disagree anyways, often times I like to go review my post... or look at something else in that thread.

oh well... I guess we'll have to live with it then.

I look at the thread before I post, I've found that it's by far the best way when you want to be constructive and coherent ;)
