No - default page for me too.

The reason for that is that the group info is passed to the code by a
HTTP 'POST' operation.  What you are doing with link is passing group
info with a HTTP 'GET' operation.

A possible workaround is to 'search and replace' in the code for $_POST
and change it to $_REQUEST.  The $_POST superglobal only checks for
POST-ed data, whereas $_REQUEST checks for GET, POST and COOKIE data (in
that order). This way both methods would work.

Hope that helps.
