This is repeating here what I wrote at firefly's test site:

I could not understand why people were saying it was hard to hold that URL variable when the existing out-the-box vB currently does that exact thing in the following case:

(see vB thread as reference:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...&threadid=22185

1. I am unregistered and I go to a thread and hit REPLY to a post.
2. I'm at a Reply screen now. But I Click "register" at top of screen, and go through a Reg process.
3. I get my confirmation screen that I am registered. and there's a link that says "return to where you last were". I click that link.
4. I am redirected to the exact REPLY screen where I started, and now my status shows me logged in with new username.

Why is it that the system and $scriptpath can hold the URL one way but not the other?

-----------
I knew this could be solved, and I am impressed that you did it despite others saying "it's not possible". Good work.

The three tweeks I am looking for:

(1) strip out the pre-fill of the words "Unregistered" at the reply screen

(2) an option would be great such that, upon logout, I get message that cookies cleared (on my site I say "you are now logged out", plus something like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are now logged out.

Click here to return to previous screen, or wait a few seconds to return there automatically.

Click here to return to Start page.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) A separate request, but kind of related (i will post it later as a separate hack request): Can you find a way to pass the "unregistered name" to the Preview screen and back to the Compose screen if one wants to preview their message first, make a change, then post it? Currently, vB will not hold that username, and unregistered users who use Preview get their name stripped out, often unknowingly. Once they post it's too late because, as unregistered, they cannot edit it...

Again, excellent work firefly!
