I remember reading that this wasn't possible with the UBB, but I thought I would try it here.

Is it possible to get rid of the page that says:

Thank you for posting, JonnyQuest. You will now be taken to your post. If the administrator has selected to moderate all posts in this forum, you will be taken back to the forum and your post will be displayed presently.

It seems like a very pointless page IMHO...

to give the database time to update...

while it's much faster with this proggie, it's still needed since the update can't be instantaneous.

you could always just make it a blank page instead :)

Not just giving the db time to update (this is not a major factor), it gets the user's browser to move on from the posting form. If the intermediate page was removed, when the user clicked refresh in the forum, the post would probably be resubmitted and we would end up with 2 posts. With the redirection page, all that will happen is that the page will get reloaded - no double post.
