Logging In Inconvenience

Something that was an issue with the old anandtech forums and is still an issue:

if I am reading a thread when not logged in, and decide to log in -- I get bumped back to the main forum instead of getting logged in and staying on the thread I was reading

It is a minor annoyance --- but one I believe should be fixed.

my workaround:
1. log in
2. click back button
3. refresh thread
 
Yeah, I agree.

Should be easy enough... pass the catid, threadid and startpage to the login form through session or cookie, then pluck them after successful login and do a forward in the header back to the page they were looking at.

Click to expand...

Took me a couple of reads due to the creative descriptors, but yeah that makes sense. Certainly a minor change but it avoids headaches.
 
Yes please redirect on login.
Other forum software does this.
It kinda sucks to have to navigate back to the thread you were reading before you decided to log in.
