It’s a strange case.
A use can login and view categories list, but once they click on a topic, it won’t load, and JS debugger reveals the following error:
I got their username / password and experienced the same issue after logging in.
Don’t even know what the reason can be for such behaviour.

I also tried to log in from admin panel, but the issue persists.

Do log entries appear in `/logs` when you try to log in as him?

Only you can see the log entry behind that link ([although I want to change that](https://meta.discourse.org/t/allow-log-links-to-be-shared-to-non-admins/39271)) – can you paste the data here (possibly cleaning up sensitive pieces)?

Okay, I now have **reproduction steps**.
1. Set user’s website field to `http://` - this is by default for many existing users even though you cannot set it to `http://` and `Save` anymore.
2. Log in as the user and you won’t be able to open any topic.

I thought there was a migration step added to remove http:// from the website field…
Just checked, there definitely is

Have you upgraded recently?

I’m currently at [v1.5.0.beta10 +14](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/8a7868be077d4e4d142f94d6e588c766d58a604a)
Not fresh enough?

Yeah, not fresh enough. The +14 only takes you to February 5th, the migration was added on February 6th.

Is it safe to upgrade to a non-tagged version?

Yes. There to my knowledge, hasn’t been any regressions noted. Plus that migration is sort of important for your setup right now. So I’d encourage you to upgrade.

Actually one more thing @meglio, this will come in play once you upgrade to latest
