Remove redirect on logging out

Title:
Remove redirect on logging out

Area:
site

Summary:
When you log out, you are asked to confirm if you want to log out. Then when you confirm, you are taken to the main site page. I think you should be taken back to the page you were on.

Description:
What should happen: you click 'log out' and then you are logged out but still on the same page.

What actually happens: (as of the last code push) you click 'log out', you are redirected to a confirmation page, then when you confirm your desire to log out, you are redirected to the front page. If you want to go back to the page you were on, it takes two more clicks, one of the back button to get you there, one of the reload button to get the logged out version of the page.

In general, I think it's better to redirect users as infrequently as possible.

What should happen if you're on a page that, if logged out, you don't have access to?

[vass]

Same thing that normally happens if you hit a link to a page you don't have access to: message saying this page is protected and you don't have access to it.

Sounds sensible.
