Removing post confirmation page in phpbb3

If you use phpbb3 than you know the "This message has been posted successfully." page that shows up whenever you post a message that after 3 seconds redirects you to your post. I found this quite annoying and was looking for a way to have it just bring you to your post. I found out how and all you have to do is edit one line of code. Here's how to do it.

Open up posting.php (it's in the root of phpbb)

Find:

meta_refresh(3, $redirect_url);

Replace With:

redirect($redirect_url);

save

And there you go. Enjoy!

Sweet, thanks :) Works
