DevForums emails' "View the thread" button stopped working

Hi, I noticed that the "View the thread" button recently stopped working in emails of replies from my watched threads.

The link's path seems fine but the subdomain is odd / inexistent, since Safari tells me it cannot find the server.

Did anybody else notice this issue?

I don’t use this feature myself, so I don’t have personal experience to share here. However, it certainly sounds bugworthy. Please file a bug about this. If you can access these emails from macOS Mail, choose Message > Forward as Attachment to generate a .eml file for a problematic message, and then attach that .eml file to your bug report.

I’d appreciate you posting your bug number, just for the record.

Share and Enjoy

Sure, I will file a bug when I can. Strangely enough though, the button worked for your reply on this thread and another one I received today, so the issue might be fixed already 🤔

Filed FB14686829. Thanks!

I noticed all links in the email used df-webapp-dr-ause1.apple.com instead of developer.apple.com. Perhaps it stands for "developer forums webapp disaster recovery AU server 1" or something similar.
