What do you do after hitting submit button?

After you hit the submit button a page comes up that says that you are being redirected back to the thread. When that page comes up, what do you do? I usually hit the back button three times quickly before I am redirected so that I get back to the thread list. I don't see the point in viewing the post I just typed.

Do you hit the back button, just wait, or click the link on the page?

Edited for clarity of opinion.

Hmmmm? I wait to see what it looks like. It's a cosmetic diction thing with me.

I ususally don't even for the screen after it says you will be redirected. WHen I see the "you will be redirected" page, I start hitting back, but VB messed up my rhytem.

I click the "Can't wait any longer" text and check my spelling and such, then I just click the forums I want to got to. :)

LOL me too. By clicking that link I get to the page in the same time it takes me to click back 2 times so I look at my post to make sure I didn't screw up and then click on the forum name up top.

I click the manual advance, check over the thread to make sure my post went through, proofread my post afterwards, and make sure I didn't miss anything while I composed my thread. Then, I hit the 'go' button at the bottom of the screen.

I let it run, check my post, then hit "GO", unlike all you back button abusers ;) I don't think I lose more than .5 seconds doing it this way.

Ditto. I really think it is faster to use the Go button.

I'm generally doing 4 or 5 things at once when I'm online, so I just hit submit and do something else in the couple of seconds it takes for the post to go through :D

Yeah I always proof read my post and then if am going back to the same forum which I just posted in I click on the link at the top of the posts in that thread to take me back. Or if I am going to another forum then I'll click on one of my bookmark buttons in Opera (see pic)
