How long do you want to ignore this user?

I was on a thread earlier today, and when I returned and refreshed, it turned out it had been deleted and I was presented with a "Not Authorized" screen. That's all well and good.

However, the only way to return to the forum I was on was by going through the Forums link on the nav bar at the top of the screen. A couple of extra clicks, no big deal, but it would be awesome if I was presented with a link to immediately return to the forum I was previously on.

Just a request, a minor one

Or just don't post on threads about to be deleted.

Seriously, that does sound like a good suggestion. In my case, I use Opera and have the Speed Dial enabled. It consists of a few rows of buttons that you can click on instead of going to a favorites. I keep a couple of the forums I'm most likely to post on linked from the Speed Dial so I just need to click on the appropriate button to take me straight to the forum.

If I didn't do this, I can see where it would be aggravating.

Yeah, it's not something that occurs often enough to be a major complaint, but it's something that would be nice to have. And I understand that there are ways around it, but as someone who works in a dev environment I've had it ingrained into my head to point out little usability issues like this. Anything to improve the user experience
