When I go to post on the forums, and I am not initially logged in, the login prompt takes me back to the index. I am fairly certain this has been the way it worked since the start of this forum. If it was talked about already, could someone provide a link for me?
My point is: A more useful feature would be if logging in this way just redirected you back to your post.
Thanks

Re: Logging into the forums
I think it should take you to "View new posts" on login (just my opinion), but if you want to see your posts, it's easy enough to just click "View your posts", is it not?
Re: Logging into the forums
Well that is correct, but I am referencing a case where you did not make a post yet. For example (this just happened):
I was not logged in when I came down here to view the thread. I hit reply, and it prompted me to log in. Once I did, the redirect took me to the index, and then I went back down to this thread.
This feature just feels choppy and I thought I'd bring it up! Taking you to view new posts is also interesting, and that could be good for whenever you are logging in. But when you are prompted to log in while hitting "post reply", it might be better to redirect you back to that post a reply screen.

When you login, you should tick the box that says "Log me on automatically each visit".
Saying that, I had a problem where it would still always log me out, THIS hasn't been resolved yet either, although there were suggestions.

Re: Logging into the forums
I tried everything that was suggested, but no luck (back then).
The reason I didn't keep that thread going, was because it just randomly stopped happening.
I seriously have no idea. It's almost like someone was logging me out, but only I have access to this laptop, and I seriously doubt someone was breaking in to my house every day just to log me out of Arma forums lol *this will really mess his head up*

Re: Logging into the forums
It might be simply that your browser was having issues with the logins. I too had that sort of issue last year before I upgraded my computer and all.ConVicT wrote:I tried everything that was suggested, but no luck (back then).
