I just had to learn that /my/group/messages/My-Group does not work as expected. Naively I was sure, that it would redirect to /u/thoka/group/messages/My-Group, which it does not. Couldn’t the redirection /my to /u/{current_username} just work for any URL inside the user namespace? Move this feature request to #bug, if my assumption is the desired behavior.

I would also have expected this to work. Depending on what you want to use the link for, /g/my-group/messages could be a workaround, as long as the feature is not implemented.

I think it makes sense to do this. But out of curiosity, what were you trying to accomplish when you learned this didn’t work?

For me, a use case would be easier access to group inboxes after they have been removed from the sidebar Kind of like sam suggested [immagine]Messages section moved to single sidebar link A workaround is a custom sidebar section that links to the group boxes you care about. But in a public custom section, so /u/username won’t help This related topic /my/messages/group/GROUP_NAME link doesn't work makes me think it worked before

I wanted to direct people to their group mailbox to check their announcement settings.

I think you may have the path wrong? try my/messages/group/my-group

[immagine] awesomerobot: my/messages/group/my-group Does not work at our site. I would expect that I can take any actual link from the browser and replace /u/thoka with /my to make it work for anyone. Current link shown to me is: [grafik] So I expect /my/messages/group/Elternkreis to work for anyone.

Try /my/messages/group/elternkreis I think you have the same problem as me (Germans like capital letters :wink: ). But my report was moved to its own topic because the team decided it’s different from yours [immagine] Group name should be case insensitive in /my route Bug Continuing the discussion from Make "/my" work for all possible links to current user: I was really confused why this didn’t work for me, as this was what I tried first when I read that topic. After some testing I think I found the cause: As soon as there is a capital letter within the group name this fails. My steps are always the same: I visit my inbox I use the dropdown to go to the inbox of the group I replace /u/Moin with /my I check if this works Verifying this works without a capit…

Hm. In a pure logical way this fits to this topics headline.

Ah yes, I was confused at first because I think you have group and messages swapped around in the original post [immagine] thoka: /my/group/messages/ messages should come first — if the group name is the only issue we can focus on that more specific topic
