Viewing another users profile show my profile

Question

But if you actually click this link the the displayed page is
This happens even if you click the first link in your post, or if you copy and paste this link into your browser. There must be some redirect going on here.
But this is just details. The fact is that the URL is wrong on the My Threads page.

Hi Adrian,
I reported this issue back in November and it's still not fixed.
I didn't get any responses from Microsoft folks in my thread, so hopefully they'll see this one.
