Still seeing this on v1.8.0.beta4 +72. Wondering if something similar to what was done over here could be put in place for upload links:

> [@\`/my/preferences\` should not take you to a 404 page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/my-preferences-should-not-take-you-to-a-404-page/34472):
>
> We link http://sitename/my/preferences in a bunch of places in emails with text similar to: "To change your preferences click: http://sitename/my/preferences. If a user is not logged in clicking on that link takes you to a 404, this can be very confusing, especially for mailing list migrations. Instead we should have a special /my/preferences page for anon that explains they are not logged in and provides instructions on how to log in. cc @eviltrout
