Edit forum information page?

My apologies if I have posted my question in the wrong forum.

Bit hard to explain, I'll try to keep it as simple as possible
BBtoNuke version is 2.0.23, PHP-Nuke version is rn2.40.01

After somone has posted a reply in the forums or created a new post, I have edited the overall_header.tpl file with {META} at the top pf the file so they automatically get taken back to the forum they have just posted in after about 3 seconds.

How can I edit the 'information page' after they have clicked on 'submit' to display some text to say they will get automatically redirected?
Can't seem to find the right file I need to edit

Happy New Year
Thanks
Mark

The end of function submit_post() in modules/Forums/includes/functions_post.php

Code:




        $meta = '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=' . append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_POST_URL . "=" . $post_id) . '#' . $post_id . '">';


        $message = $lang['Stored'] . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_view_message'], '<a href="' . append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_POST_URL . "=" . $post_id) . '#' . $post_id . '">', '</a>') . '<br /><br />' . sprintf($lang['Click_return_forum'], '<a href="' . append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx?" . POST_FORUM_URL . "=$forum_id") . '">', '</a>');

Many thanks for that Palbin.
However....having a bit of trouble getting the text in the right place
I just used the following on a new line under the above code:
echo "<p align='middle'> You will automatically be redirected to your message after 3 seconds";

Ideally I would like it placed under 'your message has been entered successfully'
How would I do that?
Thanks

I don't use forums on my site so I can't test this nor can I see the page when it's actually viewed in a browser so I'm flying blind here...but looking at the code ... I think your message would go between the two <br />'s just after "$lang['Stored']"

i.e.

Code:

$message = $lang['Stored'] . '<br /> YOUR MESSAGE HERE <br /> etc etc etc

I think that's what you're looking for. Hope that helps.
