302 redirect when updating posts

The main site works fine… this only happens when I am in wp-admin, and edit a post, or a page… when I make any changes and hit “update” I get an almost blank page with only a link at the top of the page showing the page I should have gotten… I click that link and I am taken to the correct page again…

for example, I hit publish on some post I just edited. the browser refreshes to:
http://mywebsite.com/wp-admin/post.php (in the address bar)
with a link in the window like this:
HTTP/302: http://mywebsite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=53&action=edit&message=1

The admin area isn’t entirely broke… I am able to get work done, its just that I have to click an extra link to get back to the edit page of whatever post I am editing.
Not sure why I am no longer being sent to the full URL of the post edit page.
