Question Email Notification Links Do Not Go to Login Page

When users on my website receive a notification e-mail that someone has posted to a topic for which they are subscribed, they click on the notification link but are not taken to a page on which they can subscribe. If the user is not logged into the site it seems to me that the link becomes useless from the standpoint of the Kunena if it does not at least send the user to a page where they can log in.
The whole point of a notification link is to take the user to the forum post they wish to read. If they can't access the page because it is restricted and limited only to registered users than the obvious first step is for them to login. If they're taken to a useless page that tells them that they must be a community member in order to read the post, then they have to backtrack Finder login page, login and then once again find the post.
If this is the best that we can do, why bother with the notification link? Why not have an e-mail that simply says log in and go to this page? I would like to know other people's experience here. Please respond and let me know what notification links on your site do. What is the expectation or the norm of notification links?
Just in case anybody's wondering, I'm running Kunena 1.6.1 with the very latest version of Joomla! 1.5.22. I'm using community builder for login on my site and I have my integration page set to integrate with community builder or use “auto detect”. My Kunena profile is below. All comments and feedback are greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Howard

Last night, I was setting up a Kunena article which I wanted to share with a select group of users. They all have administrator status. I placed the article on one of my menus and set the menu link to special. I then e-mailed each of the users with a link to the article. When they clicked on the link they were immediately taken to a login page and upon completing the login they been were taken directly to the article.
I mention this to point out that the desired feature I've been speaking about for a while now is already functioning on my website and, I believe is intrinsic to the workings of Joomla. The question is: why does Kunena not work the same way?
Maybe the developers can take a look at this and see what is going on. What is different in Kunena r how it handles requests for restricted pages? I hope this inquiry will lead to a solution about notification links pointing to form posts.
Sincerely,
Howard

I must admit that I'm finding it a bit disconcerting that no one has contributed to this thread or offered any solutions to this fundamental issue. I have also not seen anything from the developers to indicate that they are aware of this problem and they are at least working on a solution for a future version.
I'm willing to acknowledge that perhaps other users of Kunena are not experiencing this problem and if so I would really like to understand exactly why and how they are getting around it.
I also do not want to seem disrespectful. I'm well aware of the fact that the developers have done an extraordinary job with Kunena 1.6 and that there are many other competing priorities with other issues. Nevertheless, I'd like to have some idea of when this problem can be addressed.
Sincerely,
Howard

While you are waiting for the developers to investigate this issue - which I agree is important - you could also use your time profitably to get eliminate the outstanding issue involving legacy mode.
Your website has an "unusual" approach to the way that the menus have been setup. I'm not saying that your setup is wrong, it's just unusual. This might explain why no one else has become involved simply because their sites do not challenge the users in the way that yours does. These unusual things notwithstanding, as I have said on several occasions, I agree that it would be better if Kunena approached things in a more "consistent" way as with the rest of Joomla.

It would be good if there was the option to sign up or login in the screen (image attached below), and if you login it then redirects you to where you originally clicked to go in the forum.
Please Help!!
still wish that i can write my forum signature through a jomsocial plugin and do it from my jomsocial profile

You have configured to let only registered users to see your forum ?
I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

Although this description sounds a little convoluted and self-contradictory, I think I understand what you're trying to say.peetree21 wrote: Does anyone know how to have a login module/ability when you click on a link to take you to a registered part of the forum when you are not signed in, so you don't have to navigate to another part of the site to login, then come back to Kunena and try and find the link you were originally going to again??
If I understand correctly, your user login to your website but then they cannot access Kunena because they appear (as far as Kunena is concerned) to be logged-out. Is that what you're saying?
If I have correctly understood your question, we need to understand how your users logged-in in the first place. One discussion topic that might shed some light on this problem is Double Login Issue . It's a fairly long and involved story (and there were a few digressions along the way) but I hope you persevere with the story so that you might see if there are any lessons that you can apply to your current situation. As I remember from that discussion, one of the issues affecting this problem was having different session lifetime settings in Joomla and in Kunena.
Very importantly, to help those of us who are trying to help you, can you please post your K 1.6 configuration report, please? Can you also post the value of the session lifetime that you're using in your site Global Configuration, please?
Thanks

Ill try again, my whole forum is for registered members only. Say you have a link to a forum message (from say an email) and you click on it, it takes you to kunena but then you get the screen i posted above, saying "Please Log In). However, to login you need to go to outside of kunena to login. Then it has lost your original location you were trying to go to in the kunena forum.
What I am asking (and i know it can be done because i have seen it - i think on xillibits personal site) is that how can you have it such that when you click on a link to the forum when you are not signed you are given a screen that has a login module or registration option, so that once you login you are redirected to your original kunena message you were trying to view.
so something like image attached below
