Plus member not getting games publicly visible despite setting Yes flag in settings

I don't know whether this is a bug, but I can't find helpfiles on Roll20 use itself that help me troubleshoot the issue on my own. I became a Plus member and set my Games Publicly Visible flag to Yes. A few days later, registered Roll20 members were complaining to me that clicking my link to the game page only gave them an error message saying they had to join the game to view that page. I can't test that further without imposing on other people, but when I log off and browse games as a guest I am able to view only the recruitment page, not the game page.
When you accept people as players you need to send them the link to the game that is hidden in the green section over in the chat window. It is below the line that says "The player link for this campaign is:" Hover your mouse over the link and it will reveal. Right-click and copy the URL and send it in an email to your players. There's a difference between making the game's recruitment page publicly accessible and the game itself publicly accessible.

I wasn't talking about players or anyone entering the game room. I'm talking about the game webpage (the one with the game forum) being publicly viewable as Roll20 advertises it is when you're Plus or Pro.
Ah, you don't want Games Publicly Visible, you want to select the "Allow public access to this game" option in your game's Game Settings page. Is this already set to Yes?

Hi, One-Eyed Jack . Strange issue you're experiencing; what's the name of the Game in question?

These are the specific two games where I got problem reports: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/2300577/r" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/2300577/r</a>... <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/2294359/t" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/2294359/t</a>... It's possible the glitch was temporary and the problem no longer exists. Please let me know if that's the case, and thanks for your help.
Upon investigating this, I can confirm that - for the games listed - this issue resolved itself. If you find that this issue crops up again, please feel free to start a new bug report thread.
