Strange behavior of direct link to FM forum

  • February 22, 2021

To enter the FM forum i use a direct link: https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker/bd-p/framemaker

Since a few days the täfert page shortly appears, but then I'm redirected to https://community.adobe.com/

Closing the browse window and using the direct link again displays the expected page.

What is going on here?

Good morning Klaus,

 

When I test your link, everything is fine. It opens the FrameMaker page.

My direct link in my browser favourites is:

http://forums.adobe.com/community/framemaker

It works as well as yours. You might check this.

However, usually I check the e-mails which I get from the Adobe forum and click on the link there.

 

Best regards

My impression is that this is just a new, perhaps temporary, artifact of whatever is being done by the developers to enhance this forum/engine.

In particular, it might be related to the chronic short-fuse logout problem of the last few months.

I have favorites link that goes to your same URL (directly to the FM forum), but in the last week, I'm presented with a login screen, but before I can do anything, it either logs me in, or decides that I already was, but forgets where I wanted to go, and takes me to:
https://community.adobe.com/

Thanks, Winfried;

It turns out that this happens only on my iPad - although the browser is the same (FireFox). So I have to live with it...
