God I hate this! Never fails, either. I’d be on a page of someone’s profile or some piece of content I’d like to see but I’m required to log in. Okay, I will do so. So I do and it doesn’t redirect me back! It just puts me in the front page, like no thanks, just bring me to where I was!
Login to see content? Throw it in reverse meme
Yeah that’s almost always going to be a hard pass from me lol
There’s always an XKCD
Or when clicking the link to use your countries version of the site sends you to the home page…
Every few months Amazon or AliExpress will think I’m German or Spanish with no action on my part whatsoever.
do you happen to have one of those no tracking link browser extensions? I’ve had a few of those remove the redirect from the log in page url
Oh my god it’s fucking horrible. And so straightforward to fix.
- oh noes! unauthorized!
- store current path in a session variable
- redirect to authentication
- upon successful authentication, check if that session variable’s got a path in it
- if it does, redirect to that
I prefer having to logout to see content.
Yep, infuriating. It just happened with me. Googled something, followed a link to a website. I couldn’t see images on forum lthread there without registering. So I register, that of course takes me to the home page on the forum instead.
