Hi!
There is a minor annoyance in reply notification mail in phpBB3.
Example:
The email has a link to the newest post in the form
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... e=12905352
This link requires a login.
Why isn't the equivalent link like this used:
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... #p12905352
?
It gives the same page, except without the login requirement.
I apologize if this was changed in newer versions.
Regards,
David

Re: Notification mail links
Because if you don't login then you will not receive any further notifications of replies to the topic. This is the reason for the forced login.
Re: Notification mail links
Ah, I see the reason now.
But it can still be done without login.
Similar to the registration confirmation email:
The link can have a codeword/number, that is unique and the server would know that the user is visiting the thread from an email notification.

Re: Notification mail links
Might be something to consider for 3.2. Might want to create an RFC in the 3.2 RFC forum.
