I believe older versions of vB needed it to update the database before displaying the page. Sometimes doing both at the same time created inaccuracies and such. I believe vB3 doesn't have that limitation, and the redirect option was left in just for user ineraction's sake.

Even if the option was left in. It still needed to be turned on... and then off. It was the brownies that did it. They activated the option! Then they turned it off. They're trying to drive me insane, but it isn't working!!

Actually, it isn't off-topic. We are still discussing the mysterious re-direct message. It is just that our theories concerning that message are getting more complicated. Perhaps you should pay more attention.

Well I was going to try an offer an explaination, but it appears that the redirect message has gone...

I was going to put it down to bad/lazy coding (by the vBulletin coders of course, not GHDPro et al), as such redirects (using the REFRESH property of a META tag) are often put in by people who haven't fully grasped how to do proper HTTP header-based redirects (which are transparent to the user), but, it's not there any more, so perhaps either it served another function (can't think what though) which has been turned off, or maybe the code has been repaired.

Sorry to bring things back on topic guys.

I have seen those slow redirect pages for the past day or two as well. I'll know if it's gone once I post this message. EDIT: Yup the redirects are gone.
