Hi @martin, thank you and the discourse team for the consideration. We are discussing alternative solutions at the moment.
Yes, please and we’d be happy to know when this bug is fixed.
Understood… I was hoping that admins are given the option during the creation of the invitation link to choose whether the prompt message is used or not (maybe with a warning of what could happen if they don’t use the prompt message.) We are aware that without the prompt message, anyone would be able to access the private group/category but in our use case that’s not an issue because they are not ‘secret’ groups/categories, they’re private to be kept separate as dedicated spaces for discussion of course topics.
It’s not easy to demand course participants to bookmark the topic, but the latter suggestion sounds like our only option now and the immediate action we could take to fix the issue.
And it seems we’re also facing this issue now: No 'sign in' option in the accept invitation page, only the signup form is shown, thanks!
Again, thank you and your team for all the work and support.
