I’m posting this here bc Thunderbird is cumbersome to use as an email service, requesting more information than necessary, and I don’t want to take the time.
At any rate, the links to hand replays are all routing to the lobby despite clearly stating they are hand replays and including the hand # in the URL.
Example:
This happens whether you use the url in the browser input window or the (identical) one in the share field.
The preview generated by the forum will be to the login page, but if the link is to an actual hand, it should actually open that hand - provided whoever is clicking the link is logged in (to the main site, not the forum).
Your link above is to https://www.casino.org/replaypoker/sessions/new
If you try to open a hand and your not logged in, you do get redirected to the login page. I’m guessing that’s what happens on the forums. It tries to visit the page to generate a preview, but the forum itself is not logged in, so always comes back with the login page. If you replace the auto generated preview with custom text for the link, you won’t get that.
