Link from IRC leads to main forum page, not to article.

Following a link from IRC that should lead to article about YaST power management , I land on a forums main page, no trace of article.

Login and follow link again and I get article page.

How to link to any article in forums with this restriction in place?

Sometimes what happens is something gets messed up with the cookies - if
you follow the link a second time, it should go to the article properly.

I run into this occasionally following the thread link from the NNTP side
if I want to see a post on the web side. Second time always works, or if
I’m already in the forums (logged in or not) it tends to work OK.
