Old EA Forum Link Directs To A Random User

This is the link I have bookmarked since EA Forums launched. This is the same link included in the old The Sims Forums. This is the link:

Forums.EA.com

The link address to this looks like this: https://forums.ea.com/category/the-sims-en

Yet every time I click on it, it directs me to groovester user page.

Am I alone in this or are other people having the same problem? And is anyone getting a different result when clicking on the old link or is groovester the famous user now?

    Would you look at that, the link here directs to the right place.

    But to see for yourself, open the old The Sims Forums first and click on the link in the announcement.

    I’ve had the same problem.  Even when I bookmark the link directly from the this site, after a few days it will load me into some random users profile. 

  • EgonVM cyncie  The link from the old forums works fine for me in a private browsing window.  This is typically browser cache-related, so deleting the cache can help.  Having said that, the problem in general has been reported here before and EA is looking into it, so hopefully this will stop happening so frequently.

    To add to it, I tend to leave forum site open until it automatically logs me out.

    Most of the time, the same page I was on stays.

    Yet some times, I go to a different place...

    Thanks for the input!

    Welp, it works fine in incognito, it works fine in Google Chrome. I'm more curious over what causes this problem in the first place to be honest...
