What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?
* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.
* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.
* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.
I appreciate the support!

Yes, but the issue become, where/how to store it, then if the site needs email verification to validate the user. Then the issue comes in with mods, that redirect users to certain places, or forces them to read a post or pm before continuing doing anything.
Just way to many variables and hurdles to try and overcome to get them back to the post.
Look at it this way, as vBulletin stock setup, if I am reading a post as a guest, then decide to reply to it, I need to register. Once I do I need to find that post again. I am sure if there was a easy way to do it, it would be in the core software already.

I get it now, because if a guest clicks on "reply" in showthread, he gets the "no permission please login" form instead, which has a option to register.
All you're doing here is making that the register form instead, saving them a click. It's more elegant than the standard redirect.

Of course, you need a way to store link. Maybe in database (new table, just for this mod, that would populate first info about link where the button was and next userid, after registration process. With internal (this mod's) userid, so mod knows who is who), or in cookies (so browser knows link).
As how to present this link, maybe to create something like notice, with info that user started registration (clicked on the button) at this link (i.e. link to original post). Here could be explained that user must complete registration process first (with confirming email if board asks for it) and after that user could go to that post to reply.
There should also be option to remove this link, if user wants so. Removing link would delete DB record, or remove cookie.
I'm just thinking aloud... As I said, this would affect user experience in a good way.
