Link takes straight to login page?
It's been a while since I've been here, so I might have missed something. But recently my Fastmail bookmark takes me straight to the login page instead of the home page. This is new behavior, but I don't recall seeing anything describing this.
Is this intentional behavior by Fastmail, or is my computer acting wonky? When I google search "Fastmail", I click on the search results and it takes me to Fastmail's home page, but then when I try and save that as a bookmark, when I click on the bookmarked link it will instead take me to the login page. I feel like I'm going crazy because I don't ever remember it doing this. |

I just experimented with this in Chrome browser, and it happens as you describe.
I checked out the saved bookmark, which points to "https://www.fastmail.com/", but goes to the login page when clicked. Not that it bothers me anyway. |

thank you for confirming this! I'm just glad it's not just me. I'm overly cautious about malware/ site redirections. It doesn't bother me as well, saves me a step really. As long as that's the way it's supposed to behave. |

Yes, it's an intended change. We figured that people who are already logged in don't need to visit the marketing pages first, they'd prefer to save a click and go straight to the account chooser.
