Notification mail links

[xerces8]

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

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.

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.

Regards,
David

Might be something to consider for 3.2. Might want to create an RFC in the 3.2 RFC forum.
