probably the same as what happened here: [Forum link on iNat home page takes me to wrong thread - Bug Reports - iNaturalist Community Forum](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/forum-link-on-inat-home-page-takes-me-to-wrong-thread/11443).

probably just an edge case (title begins and ends with a number). not sure if it’s worth trying to address.

EDIT: for what it’s worth, the workaround / fix would be just to add /:id to the end of the link to the forum topics, which probably would not be that difficult to do, but again, it’s an edge case. (the real fix is probably a fix to Discourse itself, in which case someone would have to report the bug [over there](https://meta.discourse.org/) and shepherd it through, assuming it hasn’t already been reported. if someone wanted to look into the latter option, it doesn’t have to be iNat staff to do that.)
