    I think it's when you post something it directs to that page. Let me test now...

    Edit: Garr, I didn't see it redirect to there. It does in phpBB.

    When I click on your link I get sent to a page that says "Invalid Action". Is that what you see? Anyhow sitting here as I am in Xi'an China I probably won't get back to this thread very soon but I thought I'd try and see if I could help.

    Its for when you manage a thread/post. Its something that is not available to you and shouldnt be trying to do.

    Re: What is this for?

    I think it is a "working" page, which performs a certain action (eg: takes your input and creates the post/thread), and then automatically re-directs you to the target page.

    When you go directly to that page without sending apt parameters, it doesn't know what to do (or which post/thread to do it to), hence the error.

    Re: What is this for?

    Just because its loaded doesnt mean you are explicitly using/calling it. It may be a secondary call from some other page/script. I didnt take the time to research it thoroughly. Either way it should be of no worries

    Re: What is this for?

    Because in the other forums there are threads that are worthy of database space. CC is not.
    No you can only delete in CC
