Hello,
Having sent an informal mail to a friend about a post u get to a page saying that it would have been successfully sent (or it failed to do so). However, if u click the "continue" link u get a "u followed a dead link" error message. I think the expected result should be that "continue" brings u back to the forum's index.

The message itself could be improved as well. right now it's
Quote:

The e-mail has been sent. The email to ur friend xxx(at)xx(dot)xx about yyyyyy has been successfully sent

Why not leaving out the first sentence? The next one already contains all necessary informations.
bye
Ken

There's a similar bug I want to post. It can be generated as follows:
Do anything with private messages (sending, editing, clean it up) and then immediately log out without returning to the index. Next u will get an "invalid URL" error. I think the expected result should be that after logging out someone should be directed to the forum's index.
bye Ken

Will fix...

When a user logs in or out, I want to return them to the page they were previously on. Now obviously when a person logs out, certain pages are no longer avaliable, hence the error you are seeing.

Sure, I understand the nature of it. However I think it would be more graceful if a legitimate user can log out without confusing error messages Smile.
