Description
**_1 Upvote**_ If a forum is set to members only and you click on a direct link to a post (which may have been posted in IRC, Discord, Email, etc) the user will get a 404 error page instead of a login page.
I think it should redirect to a login page instead.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the direct-link handling for posts in members-only forums and trace why unauthenticated users receive a 404 instead of the login flow. Done means a direct post link opens the login page when authentication is required, rather than showing a 404.
