"Back to problem"

When editing a solution for a proposed problem, the "Back to problem" button seems to link to the home page rather than the edit problem page.

Yes Bryan that is what actually happens. When you click on that button, the next page that appears in front of you is the "Home Page" and not to the corresponding problem whose solution box is in front of you. I hope something is done about it. Even I face a lot of problems with that.

Re:

There is (as always) a very simple excuse for this. The "back to problem" link takes you to view the problem on the site. However, if you try to view the problem on the site, and that problem is not approved yet, you are redirected to the home page.

This is because the first occurence of the edit solution page was when viewing a live problem which you submitted (it should still offer a link to edit solution if the solution is not yet live). The idea was that you would click that link, edit your solution, and then return back to the problem VIEW page (not the EDIT page which was added later)

Of course all these explanations do not address the fact that the current behavior is wrong and should be fixed. Perhaps there should be 2 separate links ?

Re:

If it isn't too hard to program, I would suggest the link default to the edit page for the problem, and if that page no longer exists because the problem is live, then link to the home page. Doable?
