I like what Anno has sugguested; instead of giving a raw error and having to hit back and do your thing, just reload the newpost script with the already filled variables (the post) and have an error listed at the top "You must enter a subject" to where a user can just fill in the sub and hit enter wihtout having to do any part of hitting back oand praying things function properly <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
