And it fails to redirect to the “best-of” for only some of the users and works correctly for others?

Works fine in Firefox 61.0.1. Also works fine in the old version of IE that is still on my computer, IE 11.09 or something like that LOL

It redirects properly to all but one user among those I've tried.

Sorry, I am unable to reproduce the issue. I tried accessing the "best-of"s of a bunch of members and it worked every single time. Not really sure what is happening here.

I appreciate your efforts. The issue now seems too unimportant to pursue. Apparently it affects only me and then rarely. It isn't a problem in the POTN software.

Uh-oh, I found another one. At https://photography-on-the.net/forum/member.p​hp?m=421723 the "best of" cup links to the gallery.

Current hypothesis: the link works wrong for me if the photographer specializes in birds.

Is there a difference between people with 1 best of, and multiple?

Make sure forum filtering is off when you test the links. If forum filtering is on, and the best of images in gallery are in those filtered out forums, then gallery page redirects to normal gallery when is sees there is nothing to show.

That is the answer!

The effect of filtering on best-ofs visibility is explained on the best-ofs page, but if the best-ofs' forums are filtered out, that page is bypassed.

Now it's clear why your (Pekka's) home page has a 7 next to the cup but the best-ofs page shows only 4 photos–until I undo filtering.

Awesome!! And that explains why I will never run into this since I haven't filtered out any of the forums :-)
