Suggestion

Liz, Amanda:  I often forget to log into the community before I start browsing.  I find a topic I want to reply to, click Reply, and the system takes me to the login page.  I log in and the system takes me to the main page again.   I wonder if it's possible to be taken to the page I was on before instead of back to the beginning.  There are many workarounds to this issue, of course, but I was still wondering if the system could we tweaked.  Thanks!

  • Thanks for your suggestion, maratsade!  

     

    This community platform right out the box works that way-- try to post, get login prompt, login, continue posting. I guess that got disabled when we implemented our SSO login requirement. I know that's not something we can easily re-enable in our admin controls, so I'll ask Lithium what it takes to get that functionality back.

  • Good idea... couple that with making the authentication cookie last longer than an hour.

      There have been times I have wrote out good long posts, and then look and see I am not logged in...  Not fun if you forget to copy... >.>

        Been there! It's frustrating, and I try to remember to compose things off the community and then copy-paste, but I'm not being very successful...

      Is that how long it lasts?  I thought it was longer....
