When you get a reply to a topic you're notified to maybe it'd be saved in a different menu on the forum and that you'd have the option to have it emailed or manuelly view the new topic replies in that menu.
Ex: Someone replies here and I chose for it not to email me, I'd go into my control panel and into a menu where someone has replied to something I'm tracking.
And maybe add a "last post by" section in your preferences menu for the topics you are tracking.
Yeah, but IPB doesn't use Redirect pages now and it works fine.
Although I don't really care, I think the new redirect page is kinda cool, so if you can't just get rid of the redirect page and link straight to the page you're going then it doesn't matter :p.
Well, I could make the redirect screen optional, that's just a setting.
However in some cases it means that pages won't refresh correctly (browser-caching issue)
