Clicking on new "News" topic ends up in "Forum" vs "Forums"

If I am on the "Recent Topics" page and somebody posts a "News" topic, when the new topic automatically shows up, the URL points me to:

"https://pointbuzz.com/Forum/Topic/cedar-points-frontiertown-wrangles-new-food-options"

But I refresh the "Recent Topics" page and then click the link, I end up here:

"https://pointbuzz.com/Forums/Topic/cedar-points-frontiertown-wrangles-new-food-options"

The first link results in invalid (old?) navigation links from the "Forum" menu at the top of the page, as well as the "Recent / Forum / News" links.

When you say "shows up," do you mean you're on the page and then the new entry lights up and appears at the top?

Yes, that is correct, similar to when a topic is updated with a new post.

Weird, I can't reproduce that behavior.

That surprises me. It happens all the time. I tend to keep the "Recent Topics" page open so when I see Walt post a news story, I'll click it. And then when I'm done, I'll click back to "Recent" and end up at the 500 Server Error page.

I had this exact thing happen today.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Leave recent topics page open.

2) Open the news story when it comes up.

3) Click Recent to return, except you get a 500 server error.

I had this happen today specifically with the "Annual Brew and BBQ Festival is back" news story. If I go back to the news story now (since I have refreshed the Recent page), it works fine.

Also, not sure why the image isn't embedding, but maybe there is something I'm missing there. :)
