Topic URL / Link Redirects to a Different Topic

Description of problem

Anytime I try to view the Topic: pwgenesis.forumotion.com/t43-fortune-2018

It automatically redirects me to Topic: http://pwgenesis.forumotion.com/t1-site-navigation-tutorial-video

This just started happening today when I logged on and tried to view the Topic (it was made a handful of days ago and didn't redirect to my knowledge then)

Right before I noticed this, I was making some other topics, in a different sub-forum and I ended up double-posting it. The top Topic in that forum ALSO redirected me, and it was to the same Topic (t1-site-navigation-video) but the bottom Topic that was double-posted did not. I deleted the top double-post. That is when I started clicking other topics on the forum to see if they would redirect, but I found only one other topic that redirected (t43-fortune-2018)

Any help on what the issue could be and how to resolve the URL redirect?

Thanks for any help!

Hello @AnyColor,

It is an automatic protection deployed by the forum when a user has a suspicious behavior, which can be assimilated to SPAM. This is often the case when you open many topics or post many messages in a very short time. To protect itself, the forum simply redirects the user to the /t1- topic (even if it no longer exists).

Just clear your cache to fix the issue.

That worked @shadow thank you very much.

I thought it may of been something along those lines. Transferring over many posts from our old zeta site.

Cheers!
