Incorrect redirect

Starting yesterday the link to my Community Builds post has been redirecting to a Sims 4 post instead. The link is copied correctly... but redirects incorrectly.

My post (added in a space after https so you can see the actual text)... https ://forums.ea.com/discussions/the-sims-3-en/soocoolsims-showcase-%E2%9A%9C%EF%B8%8F/1568017/replies/1568019

goes here...

Post the last screenshot you took in The Sims 4 | EA Forums - 831274

    I have been getting incorrect redirects as well. Instead of Sims 4 General Discussion I have been directed to a particular Sims 4 post from 11 years ago or a 7 year old Star Wars post. Fun!

      Well I clicked on the link above this morning and it lead to the correct TS3 post even though it still reflects TS4. So weird these glitches.

        Well that was short-lived. Back to incorrect redirect again... this time to a different post. And to boot, another of my posts is also directing incorrectly now. I really hope the programmers get to the bottom of what causes this so it can be fixed.

      I've been getting the 7yr old Star Wars post as well 

  • Thanks for responding EA_David . I usually use Edge so went to Settings / Privacy, search and services / Delete browsing data and that did the trick.

  • Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one having such a proble. It started happening a day or two ago. I play SWGoH, so naturally that's the section I open when I'm looking through the forums. Except, every now and then, when I click on a thread to open it, it opens a completely different GoH thread from years ago, or even one from the Sims or Simpson sections. Example, I try to open a thread about Datacrons, I suddenly find a Sims 4 thread about a challenge from 10 years ago. Even when I go to the browser search bar to directly open a thread instead of searching for it, the forums go to a completely different thread in a completely different section.

    Also, not related to redirecting, but it would be a nice touch if I didn't have to sign in every time I visit the forums. Admittedly, all I have to do is click Sign In and I'm immediately signed in, but does get annoying after a while.

    Since a few days I have the same problem. I created a bookmark to go to the sims forum directly and now I am redirected to a random post on the Simpsons even if I never touched that game or posted anything about it. Very annoying. I have no intention on starting to play that game.
