Remove Intermediate Redirection Page
Developer Last Online: Jul 2010 
This modification is in the archives.
For some odd reason, I didn't see any request for such a feature, although as far as I know, vBulletin is the only bulletin board which uses this useless redirection system. I'm talking about the "Thank you for logging in...", "Thank you for posting...", "Please wait while searching...", etc. pages.
This hack (I'm not even sure you can call it a hack, it's just 1 line of code) will get rid of this page. It works with all the browsers, but just in case a VERY old browser is being used, the original redirection system will be used, so basically you have nothing to lose. In the admin/functions.php file, find:

I don't think this would exist if it was totally useless..
My theory is that the redirection page allows the server to breathe inbetween resource consuming actions.. so it doesnt overload and crash. No members have liked this post.

I'm using my hack in my forums since the very beginning, and I have quite a busy board, and so far so good.

While this is good for the "big guns" of forums, who use it for a lot of time, I think the redirection page is important and friendly for newbies.
I don't know how to explain this, I'm sure someone else can, but just doing stuff without letting the user know isn't good IMO. I think I'll use this for my testing site... I don't need the redirection.

It works great, but there appears to be a few areas where it appears to be needed. With deleting threads, and a portion of the registration. Although it still does redirect it takes so long to do so that 50% of the time my users thought they screwed up.

sorry firefly
what i meant was, do you think that any of the administrators or moderators of the vbulletin forums would know why this redirection is in place i agree with you that it helps with new users of a forum but i think experienced users get a bit annoyed

What about allowing the user to choose to disable it?

definately a good idea for a yes/no on the registration page/user cp: "Use Intermediate Redirection pages?" would be great.

Well, I think the redirect is a novelty way back in the UBB days ... in any case, I've applied it to my test forum and it does give a semblance of "speed" and "responsiveness" ... so I'm applying it to my live forums and see what happens
