Ask HN: When favoriting a thread, could the link keep us on the thread?

As a long long time user, I'm quite fond of HN and the quality content and insightful discussions. And the moderation here is simply unmatched.

My only quibble is that when I click the link to favorite a submission/thread, I end up on my favorites page, which means I then have to click back to return to the thread. Not sure why it works like this, but generally, I'd much rather just end up back on the original thread.

Is this something that can be changed, or is there some other reason it works like this?
