Are any of you guys running programs like Norton Internet Security? The Privacy Control feature of this program blocks the referrer in a browser. Therefore, the server doesn't know what page the original request came from. The ASP code then, apparently, uses /default.asp as the page to redirect to.
As soon as I turned off Privacy Control, redirecting worked again.

Good call! This is probably what's happening.
It is true that the forums will default to default.asp if the referrer is not found. In addition to firewall/privacy programs, some proxy servers don't pass referrer information correctly, consistently, or at all.
As a work around, I made some changes to the the referrer logic to allow the forums to "deduce" where you were coming from based on what you're trying to do. It's not going to be perfect, but it's better than going to default.asp every time.
Obviously the best solution is to make sure your browser/computer is configured to allow the HTTP_REFERRER header to pass through to the forums.
