Whats the deal with the login functionality on this forum?

After log in it always takes me to the forum index page. This is really annoying when I click to Post Reply, login, and not get taken to the create post page. Even after I press back twice in the browser and click the reply button it gives me the login page again. wat?

Same thing when clicking links in forum emails, "If you want to view the newest post made since your last visit, click the following link", cool, click, login page, login, forum index 0_o, click email link again, new tab, login page o_0. There is no way to get to the post using a link.

I'm using Chrome on Mac.

    This is something the support guys should really take a look at. It's rather painful!

    Hi all!

    Yes it's a pain in our back-sides as well! We're looking into it but unfortunately it's taking some time...

    Personally I'm right-clicking on some random function and opening it in a new tab and using that tab to log in.
    After login I close the tab, refreshing the first tab and then the user is authenticated for the second time and you won't get thrown back to the index page every time.
    Its quit effective once you've got the hang of it and if you're using every hot-key possible.

    Although it's kind of ridiculous that I need these extra steps..

    Regards
