I think that is because it is in the Speed, Plod and the Law section - you have to be logged in to see that forum. When you're clicking on the link first time round you'll get sent to the log in page before you can see the topic.

Yes. You are right it does only fail when the message is posted from that section but it does NOT take me to the log in screen it just comes up with topic not found error.
