    Front-End Redirect Message is not displayed long enough

    When someone posts to a forum which has moderation turned on they see the following message but it doesn't display long enough to read the entire message before re-directing back to the forum. Can this be adjusted?

      Change the numbers in red:

      Code:
      <if condition="is_browser('mozilla')">
	<script type="text/javascript">
	<!--
	function exec_refresh()
	{
		window.status = "$vbphrase[redirecting]" + myvar;
		myvar = myvar + " .";
		var timerID = setTimeout("exec_refresh();", [color=red]100[/color]);
		if (timeout > 0)
		{
			timeout -= 1;
		}
		else
		{
			clearTimeout(timerID);
			window.status = "";
			window.location = "$js_url";
		}
	}
	
	var myvar = "";
	var timeout = 20;
	exec_refresh();
	//-->
	</script>
<else />
	<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="[color=red]2[/color]; URL=$url">
</if>
      The first one is used for Mozilla browsers. I don't completely understand that javascript code, but I tried changing that number and was able to notice a difference in the refresh time. I don't know what units it uses.

      The second one is used for all other browsers. That is the number of seconds to wait.

          Thanks, Jake. I changed those numbers to 1000 and 10 respectively and I now have time to read the entire message.

              I just changed both my numbers from 100 to 800 and it made no difference in time. What am I doing wrong here?

              PHP Code:
              $stylevar[htmldoctype]
              <              html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
              <              head>
              <if               condition="is_browser('mozilla')">
               <              script type="text/javascript">
               <!--

                              myvar = myvar + " .";
                var               timerID = setTimeout("exec_refresh();", 800);
                if (              timeout > 0)
                {

                  Joey, Jake suggested you increase the numer in red in the above line of code. I increased it to 10.

                      Is it possible to change this behavior and make the redirect page show longer only for the page that is shown to members whose post is going into moderation, but not make it take longer for the redirect page that shows up when a member logs in?

                          Are you really using vbulletin 3.0?

                              3.8 The template edits above still mostly match and the info above got me 1/2 way to where I want to be.

                                  You can make some template conditionals- in this example all redirects besides login will be extended time:
                                  VB 3.8

                                  Code:
                                  <else />

[COLOR=#ff0000]<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; URL=$url" />[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]</if>[/COLOR]
</noscript>


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function exec_refresh()

    window.status = "$vbphrase[redirecting]" + myvar;
    myvar = myvar + " .";

[COLOR=#ff0000]    var timerID = setTimeout("exec_refresh();", 2000);[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000]</if>[/COLOR]
    if (timeout > 0)
    {
        timeout -= 1;
    }
    else
    {
        clearTimeout(timerID);
        window.status = "";
        window.location = "$js_url";
    }
}


var myvar = "";
var timeout = 20;
exec_refresh();
//-->
</script>


</if>
