You may need to escape the ampersand character in the original URL or else the target URL will get broken up. If that happens you probably get bounced to the default start page. I’d also ditch the repetition of your server address. Have you tried something like this: https://www.bb.reading.ac.uk/webapps/login?action=relogin&new_loc=/webapps/login?action=relogin&new_loc=tab_tab_group_id=_346_1 HTH Malcolm.

It's been set up for guest access, but when guests/logged out users use the link they are directed to our welcome/login page. The usual method I would use to deep link to a course isn't working. Guests are directed to the login page. If they click the link again the page displays as expected, but it needs to load Bb for the first time to initiate, which obviously isn't a great user experience. Any suggestions welcome!
