I assume everybody sees this message after they post? Personally I don't like it. Seems a bit of a waste of time to say we are being taken to the post - why not just take us straight there? Edit: WTF, I didn't see the message this time?
Like wise. It really doesn't matter, if it takes a long time to load, click on the link when it shows you that page.
If you use the quick reply or quick edit, you won't see the message. I agree it is kind of a waste of bandwidth/time but I am sure there is a reason for it, I don't think VB threw it in there for no reason.
