Auction: Remember Category/Item you were on before pressing buy

I know there's lots to do in the Auction pages out of game so I'm a little hesitant posting this, but because I'm fairly sure it isn't a groundbreaking amount of effort to accomplish** I'm going to suggest another change:

REMEMBER THE PAGE YOU CAME FROM

So many times when I'm using the auction pages I am doing so to buy multiples of one item or one type of item (earth, food, music boxes, etc). Right now the auction pages don't remember the listing page you were coming from and sends you back to the "ALL" page from the confirmation screens. Instead it would be great if you had an easy option to go back to the category page or item listing page you had been on when you clicked the "buy" button. For those times when you forget to click the "buy" button in a way that it opens a new tab (my current workaround for this problem).

Current Behavior: I need to find Honey in the auctions. I go to the encyclopedia or find the "first" honey item I see listed to get to the "all honey for sale" listing. I then buy the first one of the few I need to buy leaving me at a screen were I either have to hit the back button 2 or 3 times then press reload or start that whole series of "searching" all over again.

(that was the last one of the ideas slash wining about something posts of the test for me)

** IANAL, but I am a web developer

    i like this idea - i was using the auction this last test and i found that frustrating - after you buy something you pretty much are going back to the main auction page.
