Weird Forum Issues - Opening a thread in a tab redirects that tab back to the STO forum main page

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
I usually open threads in a new tab, so I have multiple threads open. But for some reason, everytime I open a thread in a new tab, that tab is redirected to the STO forum main page. I can actually use the Back Button then to get back to the thread I opened originally.
I am using Firefox.

Correct. It seems to try to go to the page (as the window says the title) but after like 5 seconds it kicks us back to the main forum page in general
Correct.

Happens on my Kindle, Chromebook and PC.
Also, another odd thing it does...when I click on the post anywhere it will highlight the entire page. But that may be something off with the Silk browser on my Kindle Fire. Ok now it is not doing that, so it may not be related.

Is that because saving the draft is making it refresh???? I don't get what is going on.

If I click on "Forums" in the breadcrumbs on the top of the forum navigation, the link should lead to:
https://www.arcgames.com/social/forum
I am then directed to
https://www.arcgames.com/de/social/forum
So I am directed to the German forum overview. This happens despite me being logged in and having switched to English/US in the language selector on the top of the page.
My browser or IP would probably identify as from Germany. I wonder if this issue occurs particularly to people whose native language/locale would be set to something different than English/US?
Note that that forum overview is also showing no forums at all. This is even true for the https://www.arcgames.com/en/social/forum, so the forum overview being empty could be unrelated.
I am getting in number counts at the top of the page in Notifications and Inbox.
And they have a little red number counter on them? When I get in a new number on that icon or the number goes up by one....it refreshes the entire page...and I lose my message or post.

Doesn't happen all the time but seems like every other time i open a thread it's going back to the front page.
This in on PC using Chrome. Everything was fine yesterday.
But, as I said, since it's happening even when I'm tabbed out. It's more of a general forum issue, than a thread issue.
Yeah, I know some people are seeing that, too.
So, I was wondering what would cause a refresh besides what I noticed with the notifications and inbox counters updating. What else would do it?
I could guess: someone else making a new post in the category we are in at the moment????

Possibly. As I said, it happens when I'm tabbed out. For example, I'll be in general discussion, tab over to read something on mem-alpha or watch and anime or something, and come back to being on the home page instead of general discussion. Or if I go afk with it in general discussion, I come back to the home page.
But it also happens while I'm here. Did it to me when I was doing a post in the To Many Ground Endeavors thread.
No problem, BMR. I think there were only 3-4 people complaining at the time.
Now it looks more extensive... @ilithyn mentioned it is across all of Cryptic's forums.

Yeah it sounds like it. I've been to both the Neverwinter forum, the Champions Online forum and the official ARC forum, they all have this bug. So it's more likely to be something with Vanilla than anything local.
