Redirecting login

I am starting to get quite annoyed with WebmasterWorlds.com login page. Whenever I go to an article and I am not logged in it says "status: Either we require login from users from your ISP because of abuse, or the thread is marked members only. Please login and then back up to view."

The fact that I do not understand the message is not the problem.

When I click a url like:
[webmasterworld.com...]
It would show the login screen for the first time. When I login though, it does not take me to the url above, but a typical post-login page.

What really is annoying is that when you go though a list of 30 webmasterworld linksm (rss feed) and open them in new windows. If you are not logged in, they all go to the login page and none will go to the right place after login in.

When I request [webmasterworld.com...] and I am not logged in, please can it redirect me there after I login.

Sounds like a browser issue.

What are you using?

I am using:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Or in other Words
Firefox/1.0 on Mandrake 10

Below is the order of pages:


For example when I request:
[webmasterworld.com...]

The pages go from:
Page One
"status: Either we require login from users from your ISP because of abuse, or the thread is marked members only. Please login and then back up to view."

Page Two (after logging in):
"status: Login Cookie Test
Click here to continue if your browser doesn't automatically forward you."

Page Three (after being redirected):
"Welcome thing3b * Enter Forums * Control Panel * Check Private Email Messages

I do not get redirected to:
[webmasterworld.com...]

so, in other words, you are logging out after every visit? Or your browser is not retaining cookies? Why would you have to keep logging in?

Moz/FF under windows is working as expected and not requiring a login.

I do not log out after each visit,
I use my account from many different computers and IP addresses.
I am sure that my cookies are working like anyone elses and are just as tasty.

Ok - does this happen with all your browsers - or just Moz?
