Why do i get redirected to the index after i login?

[inf1nity]

I like to view forums to check if there's a thread that i feel like participating in, before I login.

I checked my thread in Software for Windows section, and logged in.

I get redirected to the index. I remember this was not how it used to be earlier. We we shown to same page we were viewing after we signed in. What gives?

That may have changed a while ago when the software was updated, likely due to security vulnerabilities.

Just login to the VBB site directly like I do and you will come to the bases straight away
