    Posted: 23 March 2012 at 10:59am
Another really cool feature that i thought for sure existed (but i cannot seem to find; searched through the forums also), is a redirect on login. for example if i have a URL shortcut in my favorites that is for an admin or moderator access forum only and I select it, when the browser opens I'm prompted to login. after logging in, i'm routed to the main forum page, not the original shortcut I clicked.
 
I'd like to suggest redirecting to the original request by capturing the URL requested if the login session is closed (in common.asp??), and saving that URL in a cookie or passing it via querystring. After the user logs in, if there is a value in the querystring or cookie to redirect, the value is reset, and user redirected.

Is this a current option somewhere that I may have missed?

Web Wiz Forums does do this for main pages but not all. 

The reason being is that such redirects, using querystrings or cookies is very easy to manipulate by a malicious hacker or attacker and so such redirects on login are restricted to main forum and topic pages, and are done server side to prevent malicious tampering.
