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.

Hey Ed. No idea unfortunately. Last time I looked it wasnt working, but then that was prior to WP7 launch when the whole Windows Phone Development topic got shifted to the AppHub, which we noted did not result in any cointribution score integration with this site either.
