"Click here if you do not wish to wait"

[Crisb92]

After logging in just now, and reading the status bar before it returned me to the page I was on, I saw this message that I must have glanced over a hundred times before. It made me wonder, what does the "click here is you do not wish to wait" link do? Is it purely psychological, or does it load a default page?

As far as I remember it takes you exactly where you were going anyway. :mellow:

[Crisb92]

Hmm, I'll have to try it out, I'll report back soon.

 

EDIT:

Just tried it out, and yes it does take me straight back to the page, no matter whether I click on it or not. I'm starting to think it's all in our minds.

It's like the "Close Door" button in an elevator, or the crosswalk button at street intersections.

Dark0ne's a crafty, well I was going to say one, but that doesn't sound that great, hmm.

Its just a thing the invisionfree (board host) has, all forums hosted by the invsionfree board has that option, it's just for "those who do not wish to wait"

[Crisb92]

Ah, thanks for that Dark0ne, and Exodus, I thought I remembered seeing the feature elsewhere.

Invision Free is just a host that uses the old, free, version of Invision Board. I use the premium (latest) version.

Hey, a little off-topic, I know, but is the version of IPB used on Invisionfree actually free to get yourself, or do they just have a special license for it? I was never sure, and it'd be very useful to know...
