In that case I have no idea what has happened. The only automatic redirects are related to the first time login. There are just few steps, and back button should work nicely in that flow.

I am not able to reproduce that behavior on any device or browser I have at hand. If you experience that again, Please give information about the OS, Web Browser, and the URL you end to, and we'll have a look into the issue.

Am I correct to assume that you have logged in? An automated setup creates the user account and other objects you need to get started. I admit that actually posting the forms is not the most elegant solution, but a hack. We did it to let you read the full contents of the MePIN Dev Portal without having to fill in any personal information.
Re:Finnish anti-piracy website copies the pirate bay layout on Wednesday February 13, 2013 @10:20AM (#5213446)
The Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Centre copied the layout from The Pirate Bay without even removing this header from the css file http://piraattilahti.fi/css/css.css /* The Pirate Bay - main style sheet for thepiratebay.se */
Thinking that filtering hostname by regular expression "larslofgren\.com" would protect the account is a very common newbie mistake. It would still allow requests from e.g. larslofgren.com.example.com. The correct regular expression to match the domain would be "^(www\.)?larslofgren\.com$". To match other subdomains, "^(\w+\.)*larslofgren\.com$" can be used. Or, you can use other filters with options that require "exact match" or "ends with". (Sorry if those terms are not correct or accurate, I'm not using Google Analytics in English.)
Re:Wikipedia works if the javascript is disabled. on Wednesday January 18, 2012 @02:05AM (#3478420)
I noticed the same, and you can make it work with JavaScript, too. A bookmarklet with URL

javascript:function%20showArticle(){$("body%20div:hidden").show();$("#mw-sopaOverlay").hide();};showArticle();

will do the trick.

Wikipedia not actually blacking out its pages

Wikipedia didn't do too well in "blacking out" the pages, a simple bookmarklet like this can show the contents:javascript:function%20showArticle(){$("body%20div:hidden").show();$("#mw-sopaOverlay").hide();};%20showArticle();Of course, the point was to spread knowledge about SOPA and its problems, but I would have hoped a real blackout, not serving the content hidden.
