The discussion page is displayed fine when opening from google search page.

However, when copying the post url directly into another browser, it asks for sign in.

After sign in, it says the error - page not found?

Why this happen?

Directly copy from browser address bar.

Search the keyword from google
Open the target page (worked fine)
Paste the url into browser or even the same browser with a new tab, the page is not found.

However, only a small portion of the posts acting like this.

Is the post marked spam or deleted by mod?
