Ignore user - return to page I was originally on?

When I add a user to my ignore list, the site then returns me to the forum home page rather than the page I was originally reading.
This occurs in particular when left clicking on the user's name and then clicking 'Add [User Name] to your Ignore List'
Is it possible to change this so that I return to the page/thread I was originally reading, please?
It can be annoying to be reading a long thread, elect to ignore a particular poster, but then have to navigate back to be able to complete reading it (with the Ignored User's posts hidden).
It works in reverse, i.e. when I select 'Remove user from ignore list' in a thread where a user has previously been added to my Ignore list, then it returns me back to the thread. It also returns me to the page I was on if I ignore a user via the user's own profile page (i.e back to the users profile page in this case).

Blatent bump in the hope a simple yay or nay could be given by the FT or webmaster0

Hi Wywth,
This feature already works exactly as requested in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. It does not work this way in Internet Explorer. A quirk we need to look at.
Meanwhile you can work around this problem by either using one of the browsers in which this feature works without a problem. Or alternatively using your browser's back button to return to the page you were previosuly on, after ignoring a user.
