I added a custom permalink to simplify the URL for an additional Guideline page - creating a topic link for my chosen page

`/usernames` to redirect to topicID `103`

The permalink works fine if you type the new URL into the browser as you are redirected to the correct topic

I then added a short script to the `</HEAD>` section of the CSS/HTML customisation ([as per this suggestion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-a-guidelines-link-to-the-hamburger-menu/56857)) which does, indeed, put the new link in the Hamburger menu with the chosen URL

However, clicking on this link loads the link page, but the site no longer resolves the custom permalink, so I get a Page Not Found error

If you then refresh the page, it works.

Is there a reason that loading a page via the menu does not resolve the permalink?
