Community links not working first time

When I first click a link to an ESRI community post (e.g. from my email due to particular community subscriptions), the link does not take me to the correct location. For example, I received a subscription email which linked to this post: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/transfer-data-from-old-to-new-survey/m-p/10...

However, when first clicking on the link from my email, it took me to https://community.esri.com/#M31907 which then just displays the latest activity. I have also experienced the same issue when trying to access community posts from web searches (e.g. Google). 
It seems that once it has connected to a post correctly (i.e. the first link rather than the second), all other community post links work as expected.

I am using Google Chrome Version 87.0.4280.141 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Hi @MichelleMathias,
Is there any feedback yet on this? I am still experiencing this issue when opening community posts/threads from email or from search engine results.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi @DataOfficer  Sorry for the delayed response on this one. We have seen this a few times but could use more examples to work with.  Can you send us an email attaching an example of notification emails where links not working and screenshots of what happens when clicking on them that would be very helpful for us to work with our vendor to investigate further.  You can email us here: EsriCommunity@esri.com

Thank you.

Would you like more examples or do you already have enough information now?

Apologies for not looping back on this sooner. We have this fixed now in our lower tier environments and are hoping for a deployment to our live site this week or next to resolve this issue.
