after I submit a post, i imagine it's supposed to center the viewport on my post, right? Because the # sign is appended to the URL but the window doesn't center on my post, and i'm trying to fix that.
However, I can't find out how.
the url after the editting message is
index.php?cfile=bb_index.php&subaction=vthread&forum=1&topic=297&page= 0#5
But MOZILLA stays at the top of the posting list.
I tried changing the 'href' to 'name' in the main_posts_cell.html template file, but no change.
what is my problem?

I think you have some kind of javascript error in the dict_shortform2_submit function.

yes !

It seems you have a very old version of the script itself.

In the newest version, URL to redirect should contain an anchor, beginning from "msg" prefix, like it is done in all newest releases. Upgrade your version.

I think I gave up upgrading to integrate, so many changes I had to make to everything.
I found the differences in the new version, and fixed it with some magic I can't remember.

I can fix things if I have a description :)
