Description of problem:
Step 1: Go to iNat homepage
Step 2: Click this bug report thread
Step 3: The link takes me to Tony’s ‘About the Bug reports’ thread instead.

i think each thread has a unique id. that About thread’s id appears to be 60. so because the other thread starts with 60, the forum decides to take you to thread 60, which is the About thread: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/60. i think it’s just an odd case. no need to worry about it too much, i think.

Now that I unlisted, listed, and changed the title, the dashboard still shows the old title, but now I get redirected to https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/about-the-bug-reports-category-please-read-before-posting/60
