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](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/60). i think it’s just an odd case. no need to worry about it too much, i think. ---

@thebeachcomber – do you think my earlier attempt at an explanation is satisfying enough? if so, any objections to closing this bug report? ---

I’m not sure if something changed in the way the dashboard links to the forum, but clicking this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/b/b813a1c74e06d58c1078eac4ea505d114d125be1.png) Brought me to the correct topic: [https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/60-test-topic/12261](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/60-test-topic/12261) ---

what if instead of your thread ending with :), it ends with 4/12/20? ---

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](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/about-the-bug-reports-category-please-read-before-posting/60) ---
