How simple is that?

Because I am following a link from a topic to which I am subscribed. If 8-10 other forums I participate in can, many of which at not technology related whatsoever, then I 'm sure Apple can figure it out.
Follow the logic here...
1. On my Mac I receive an email notifying me of a response to a topic to which I am subscribed in Apple Discussions.
2. I click the link in the email in MAIL.app, this discussion for example 'To view or respond to this message, visit <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7019288#7019288> '
3. This launches SAFARI and opens the thread in APPLE's discussion forum website.
4. I want to reply to the discussion.
5. I click 'Login'.
6. I am taken to the login page.
7. I login.
8. I am redirected to the main Apple Discussion page, http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa NOT the page I was viewing prior to logging in.
To get back to that page AND be logged in I can either...
Switch back to mail.app and re-click the discussion topic link
OR
Hit the BACK button twice in Safari then hit RELOAD to refresh and get the Apple Discussions site to realize I am now logged in.
There are two simple solutions that would also result in less work for Apple's servers, not requiring them to needlessly reload multiple pages.
1. Redirect me back to the forum thread I was viewing after I login.
2. Provide a login WITHIN the page am viewing.
As I said I probably subscribe to 8-10 forums, none of which have built the hardware (Mac Pro) or software (Mac OS 10.5.2, Mail.app and Safari) yet they ALL are able to do both or the above.
Somehow Apple is not able to do either even though they built the hardware AND the software.

  • How do I stop Google results from redirecting me back to the main site itself?

    Hi, so today, this morning, when I booted up my laptop (Mac, OS X Mavericks), Safari and Google started freaking out on me. It was the first time anything of the sort has happened to me before, and being the lousy tech person I am, I am freaking out quite a bit.
    Let me elaborate.
    I opened up Safari as per usual, went on Skype, had a nice little conversation with my friend when she suddenly brought up the topic of Mila Kunis. Me, being the girl that lives under the rock, goes "I don't know anything about her except for the fact that she's pregnant", and my friend goes, "Well, Google it, then!"
    So I do, and then all **** breaks loose.
    I go to the toolbar in Google, everything's looking normal, and then I enter "Mila Kunis", and click on the first result that pops up (Wikipedia, basically). Now this is where it starts to go strange.
    The result doesn't open at all; instead, it redirects me back to the Google homepage: www.google.com.hk. I have tried entering in different results in the Google toolbar, but when I click on any of the results, it always redirects me back to Google. The only way I can open the results given to me is by copying and pasting the URL that is sometimes displayed on the bottom of the link; if not, then I get, you guessed it, redirected back to Google. This can be very annoying as no one likes to enter in the URLs of websites manually.
    I have tried many solutions, such as disabling add-ons, starting the laptop in safe-boot and deleting, as some high-tech professionals put it, "files that don't look like they belong". It seems that the problem resides within my laptop, as when I Google things on my phone and desktop computer, it works perfectly fine. Please help, I really don't know what to do.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.

    I have been trying to log onto the Wounded Warriors Program Portal.  I can Log in and then when I click on the rewards it tried to go to the page the just takes me back to the same page I was on.  This is very frustrating.  I am new to the Mac World so please bare with me.  Please tell me there is help somewhere for this issue.  It seems it is blocked or not letting me through.  Can anyone please help me out.  Thanks 

    Both Mail and Safari have Activity Options that open a  screen that shows you just how the site or mail is loading.
    In Safari if you are having trouble with a site in activity you will see the count of items being downloaded - and if an error occurs it shows red.
    On the top is the number of items it is loading or trying to load and the count should be increasing.   If the count stops, and you don't have errors it may be that too many people are going after the same site and your request just timed out. Have had the time out on a news site when trying to load a most popular article.

  • HT4463 How do I get back to the same page I was on?

    When I have finished reviewing an app, if I click the back arrow in the top left corner it takes me back to the first page of the category. Not very user friendly when there are dozens of pages to click through to get back to where you were. How do I get back to the same page I was on?

    This is what I mean:  The users guide gives me all these instructions.  BUT, it does not give instructions to just STOP.  I don't

  • Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

    Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. 1) The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming), 2) I used to be able to duplicate a folder within my sheet panel window by simply clicking on a folder and hitting Command D, but that doesn't work now so it looks like I'll have to spend even more time to recreate the same tables that used to be easily duplicated, and 3) I can't choose fill colors that matched my project anymore because there are only limited choices available now. And these are only the changes that I'm aware of. I am very disappointed and frustrated. Whatever the motivation was to limit Numbers 3.2, I want the previous version back. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

    The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming),
    You can scroll more quickly between sheets if you don't use the left-right triangles, but instead move the cursor up into the bands with the "tabs" and drag right or left.
    Also, if you have a lot if sheets for which you want a quick vertical list, then you can try the following have something like this pop up (showing your sheet names automatically) whenever you hit a keyboard shortcut (in my case shift-command-j):
    This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download).  To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
    This will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu.  Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
    You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
    This particular service jumps to the first cell of the first table of the sheet you choose from an automatically generated list of all sheets in the current document.

  • After downloading and installing 3.6.11 latest Firefox version, cannot conect to the web. Found old 3.0 version, re-install, back on the internet. What was wrong?

    After downloading and installing 3.6.11 latest Firefox version, cannot conect to the web. Found old 3.0 version, re-install, back on the internet. What was wrong?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • After upgrading 3.6.7, in "google image search" all the results appears in one page, I just need to go back to the previous way of search : page after page.......??

    After upgrading 3.6.7, in "google image search" all the results appears in one page, I just need to go back to the previous way of search : page after page.......??
    where can I adjust this option ?? I tried in IE, the search way is normal as in past..
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I believe this to be a browser issue, not a google search results issue, and here is why:
    having updated Firefox only yesterday, I visited google images searching for pancakes.... interestingly, I have the NEW image results (yuck) on Firefox 3.6.8, I have the OLD image results on IE8 and Opera 10.53.
    When I use the 'switch to basic version' in Firefox 3.6.8, indeed it DOES revert to the new format next time I image search (in Firefox).
    For those of us who prefer the OLD image results page, I guess we will just have to switch browsers for google image search.
    Now I'm off to research how to get rid of the UGLY FFox sidebar.

  • Why can't I install Yosemite or go back to the way my Mac was before installing?

    Hello,
    First, I apologize if someone has already asked about this.
    My MacBook Pro, got it around 2010, was running on OS X 10.6.8 (or that's at least what it says when I click on "About StartUp Disk").
    So here's what happened: thinking that since everyone is getting on to Yosemite, I downloaded the free update off the App Store.  When it starts to install, it shows it's going to take 22-23 minutes and then it tells me:
    "OX could not be installed on your computer File system verify or repair failed.  Quit the installer to restart the computer and try again."
    And when I do, the same thing happens.  I want to restart with the Startup Disk, it tells me it doesn't have enough information. Now, I can't make go back to the way it or install at all.
    Thank You,
    Gooner

    The bad news is that the most likely reason the installation failed is due to disk corruption that happened to coincide with the upgrade. The installer performs this disk verification prior to installing OS X.
    I suggest the following procedure in an effort to "repair" the corruption to the extent that you can boot from or otherwise mount the affected volume sufficiently to extract whatever information can be extracted prior to replacing it. The reason for putting "repair" in quotes is that whatever caused it to become corrupted in the first place is certain to occur again, and falls short of a strict definition of the word "repair".
    Boot single user mode (*) then type
    fsck_hfs -rf /dev/disk0s2
    Substitute your disk device name for disk0s2 in the above. It will most likely be named either that or disk0s1.
    To see a list of devices,
    ls /dev
    There is no harm in attempting the above multiple times, as often as you are willing, until it finishes successfully. If it does, back up your information immediately since you may not get another chance.
    (*) "You cannot enter single-user or verbose mode if the computer owner or administrator has enabled Open Firmware Password Protection."

    Does anyone else here think that the left margin for the threads (the one which contains the username and information) is abnormally large?  I have a lot of unused space on the screen that makes the whole page harder to read.  Is it possible to fix that with the new software?
