Links in this forum temporarily direct people to the wrong address sometimes

  Hi,

  This is a kind of wierd one.

  Refer to a case in point reproduction in the post below, in which the confused forum user has kindly included the result of what they see in the link which other people viewing a little later do not see.

  windows mobile 6.5 email reply issue: both To and CC empty|WM65

   

  You can see in this post that the link I originally typed, and which is still visible with no edits points here.

  http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobiledev/threads

   

  However, the user is temporarily seeing

  http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsphone7series/windowsmobiledev/threads

   

   

  I did some testing a while back after getting a few complaints on 404's to my links and proved this was what the forum was doing on apparently an intermittent basis (got to love those sort of problems - thanks to Kongfu OP for making the repro so demonstratable).

  My email is in my bio if you'd like some help reproducing the problem. You're welcome to contact me anytime. It would be nice to fix this issue up.. it explains those strange 404s some people see, that others do not from links in our forum.
