Invitation link takes me to 'Unauthorized'

I just sent out invitations for a game I'm setting up. I sent an invitation to myself, on another e-mail account, so I would know what my players will be seeing, and thus what other info I may need to send them from outside the Roll20 interface... When I clicked on the link, I was (stupidly) still logged in -- so it handled the request as if I was just going to the same campaign page that I sent the invites from. I then logged out and tried again... Whereupon it took me to a page that just said "Unauthorized". Whats up with that?
I suppose that's because you need to be logged as "someone". By logging out you were no more logged as the GM. But you still need to log as a player to be able to play. Just a guess.
Hmm. But if this is the link my players will be using to find the site and the game, and the result they get is similar or identical, it's not helpful in the least. The term "user UNfriendly" springs to mind...
The links that you send via email are only good for "one" invitation. So each one is different. If a player who had not registered clicked on the link (or you had clicked on it while not logged in the first time) you would have gotten a page to either log in or register a new account. If you want to share a link that's the same and can be re-used unlimited times, use the Share Link instead of emailing people individually.
