Improve login process

This is a little thing, but it always annoys me: I do not check the "keep me signed in" option when I sign in to Milovana for obvious reasons. Usually I come to Milovana and browse around my favorite forums, and if I find a topic I want to reply to I sign in.

What happens is, I have this thread on my screen and I want to reply. I click the login button and sign in, and the forum sends me to the main forum page rather than back to the page I was viewing when I clicked login. I then have to back up to the page I was on and refresh it. It would be nice if the login process left me on the page I was viewing when I clicked the login button.

I use Firefox, haven't tried this in another browser.

Works as intended. A lot of boards work just the same. Also make yourself a personal profile and enjoy your privacy.

Try this: When you decide you want to reply in a thread, don't click the "Login" button.

- Click the "Post Reply" button (bottom left).
- This will take you to a login page. Enter your details and click the button.
- Now you will be redirected to a "Post A Reply" page for the thread you were originally viewing.

At least, that's how it works for me in Safari 8.

A lot of other forums might work this way but that's no reason to do the same.

It wouldn't be too difficult to implement either, you can just include the previous view in the header or store it in a cookie when redirecting to the login page. Then just check for the header/cookie when redirecting from the login page, if it's a cookie you just need to delete it afterwards.
