Unique Login Buttons Per Page, Redirect User to Current Page

My suggestion is to have the login buttons unique to each page. For example, if I login from the Knicks board, I am directed to the Knicks board after I login. If I login from the Off-Topic - Media board, RealGM directs me to the Off-Topic - Media board, etc.

I set up my Windows and internet settings to save all my login passwords. But sometimes, passwords do not always save on my browser. It happens.

When I go to the Knicks board, I may have to login again. When I login again, RealGM takes me to the Forum Index page. From there, I have to redirect myself to the Knicks board, which takes about 2 clicks (about 20 seconds). It is not that big of a deal on the computer, but when I am on my phone, which is not the fastest phone and uses a buggy browser, it may take a couple of minutes.

The only problem I see with this is that the login button may have to be a constant variable that can only direct a user to one page only (index page obviously being the best choice). On the other hand, when I use the "Post Reply" button without currently being logged in, it directs me to that thread I am trying to post in. Therefore, I do think this is possible.

As always, I am only suggesting.

Shpati - this change should be in place. Excellent suggestion. This bugged me as well :)

Wow, you were really fast to fix that. Thank you for doing this so quickly, along with fixing the ImageShack issue.

I tried logging in on different boards, and it takes me directly to the board I was on after I login.

Also, if I may ask out of curiosity, did you have to code each board page or was it just fixing one button?
