Just an observation - refresh pages which are for forwarding really should carry all the graphic overhead of a header and footer. Seems a little wasteful to load those graphics for a transition page.

well the graphics should already be loaded, so you're really only loading the html, which is compressed anyway

The real world diff wouldn't even be noticeable actually since the images are cached locally.

On a related note...

Here's a nice trick for everyone to use in speeding up your forum for posters, and it involves changing every occurance of this...

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5

to this:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0

...in all the scripts. It's basically an artificial delay built into the transition pages which slowwwws things down unnecessarily.

After I redid them all, my visitors were absolutely ecstatic about it. If you don't feel like changing them all, then just just change addpost.php & modifypost.php. Those are the 2 most important ones, although the admin folder has quite a bunch to change for moderators and admins too ~_o

Except, of course, if your header or footer contains advertising code.
