Personal Messaging [closed]

Post by Team Tweeti » 15 September 04 11:23 am

Just a small thought, is it possible to modify the "after PM page" so that there is an option to return to previous forum/message. At present there is only the options of your inbox, or the forum index, if I wish to pm someone from within a message, I would like the ebay type option of "return to last item I looked at". I know, fussy fussy!! :wink: Cheers orac7000

it's relatively easy to add a link to a specific place (we did that for the loon some time ago), but putting a link back to a dynamic place is trickier because we need to pass the return-to path into the PM page, then pass it to the post PM page. ugh. we can put it on our list, but it would be in the "hard to do" section. can we suggest a workaround:
if you use firefox, middle-click the PM button to open it in a new tab
if you use internet explorer, right click the PM button and select "open in a new window"

Or you could just put a link like the following:
<a href="javascript:history.go(-X);">Return to Thread</a>
With "X" being the number of "Back"s required to get back to the Thread.

Alternately, and as suggested above, have the "PM" button launch a new window - either by giving the link a target of "_blank" or by using a JavaScript "window.open" command.
