What did you use for replacing this 'product.php?productid=' . $productid"?
Here is what QT replied inside the bugtracker (

*****************
As a result of discussion it was decided to implement this as follows:
- customer adds a product from the home page -> it redirects him to home page
- customer adds a product from the search results page -> it redirects him to the same search results (with page number and search conditions as it was before)
- customer adds a product from the category page -> it redirects him to that category (page number is kept)
- customer adds a product from the product details page -> it redirects him to home, category, or search results page the customer was browsing last time
We do not see any reason to forward a customer to the same product page when click on the Continue shopping button. That product is already in cart.
*****************
My personal opinion is X-Cart should let the administrator to decide from a few options where to redirect the customer.
