Require login to view the private discussion.

If the user are not logged into the community and click the mention link will see page not found as link not valid. Will be maybe great to have a different situation require a login and maybe display a different error message if the account has no right to access the private message (maybe because wrong account).

The scenario:

• Admin or User A send a private message to User B
• User B receive the email notification and is not logged into the community
• User B follow the link and no page found is showed.

What user should see is a login page or a message that inform must be logged or have permission for see this private discussion.

This has caught me out several times! I think it'd be a fantastic idea. PHP isn't my sort of thing, though, so I can't implement it 😂

Thanks @PeopleInside for your suggestion. The scenario you are describing is a common pain point until today, but it's not limited to fof/byobu. Changing the behaviour of this requires rather significant changes in flarum/core. The core developers of Flarum are aware of this issue, and it may be considered for 2.x.

In any case, I would suggest you open a new issue in https://github.com/flarum/framework or perhaps create a new proposal at https://discuss.flarum.org/t/proposals to reiterate the priority. Therefore, I will close this issue right here.
