We’re running a private forum that people can only sign-in using their google apps account from our company domain. If I sent someone a link directly to a topic, but they have yet to login (or in some cases yet to create an account), once they login, they are taken to the main page instead of the original link that they followed.
AI-generated summary
In a private forum where users log in with Google Apps accounts, clicking a direct link to a topic redirects them to the home page after login instead of the original link. codinghorror confirmed this is not a bug, but a feature yet to be implemented. mpteng and gerhard requested this feature for v1.0, citing its importance for adoption and user engagement. However, codinghorror later announced that @techapj had already fixed this issue, and it is available in Discourse 1.2.

Correct, not a bug, we have yet to implement this feature of carrying the target link through login and signup processes.

Any chance to get that into v1.0? That would be really nice.
@eviltrout has a bit of work around duplicating the social login buttons on the sign up form. Maybe we can see how long it would take.
Yeah, this would be great for adoption of our message board. I’m finding that when I send out an email with a link to a topic, that I’ll see new users signing up, but they’ll have 0 topics and 0 posts read, so I think they’re just getting lost.
Thanks!
