Why does login take me to my profile?

This site doesn’t remember my login all the time so sometimes I’ll be reading a discussion and want to comment, only to realize I’m not logged in. If I then click the LOGIN button and login, I’m taken to my profile. That’s not terribly useful. Could we set it up so that after login I’m redirected back to the page I came from so I can then comment?

If you login from the sidebar while browsing the forum, it doesn’t take you to your profile. Unfortunately, I’ve been having the problem that when I view a thread, then go back to the forum page, I’m logged out. If I refresh, I’m logged in. I don’t understand why. (Safari 2.0.3, Mac OS 10.4.4)

odd, so both logins do different things? OK, well, good to know that I can use the side bar (I always forget it’s there since it’s cut off in my browser).
