When serving up an error page after clicking a link, it comes with the URL https://www.pistonheads.com/error/error. Could it be served up with the intended URL instead? Then you could give it a moment, hit F5, and see what happens.

I do 'open in new tab' a lot, and rely on being able to go through the tabs in order later.

(I had the error page multiple times while attempting to submit this post, which is a handy reminder that not all types of request are equivalent. In the submit-a-post sort of situation, it's much less of a problem.)

Yeah I too find this one very annoying... I guess when they were put in place UX wasn't really something people had in mind.

Thanks for the feedback, this will surely help push this one up the priority ladder... I will make sure it goes into our backlog and will come back to you once we have some updates.

Happy to say it's been implemented (for a while now actually). Most of the errors you see should keep you on the same url so it's a better experience to just hit refresh to retry the page. We are still working on some edge cases.
