I think this is a bug, or at least an "inconsistent feature" :) The main property of the flash message is that it's sent in for display once. I had created it for use in displaying a message after a redirect, but there's really no reason to have two different mechanisms to display such status message. Especially, given that some pages might be redirected to or displayed directly. So, assuming there are no good counter arguments, I'd be interested in seeing flash change to output the message as soon as possible, which could mean on the same request. Kevin
