Hi, so I was just browsing through the forums and one of the posts had a link to the lounge. I tapped it and of course, it’ll take me to the oops page. What’s odd is when I try to the home page by pressing the logo, the oops page appears again. Even going to another post, it does the same thing. Unfortunately, I can’t post a video about it but it’s easy to replicate. For instance, try going to #lounge but you’re a new member.
Note: This happens on every site, not just this one. I can confirm that I can replicate this repeatedly and the only real way of fixing this is to open a new tab and go to the forum.
I’d just like to note that this is my first time trying to post a bug, I’m sorry if there are any inconsistencies in my post but I noticed this bug and would like to get this addressed.

Can we repro this @tshenry?

Ok, I’m glad I am not the only one having this issue because I was a little skeptical at first.

I can, indeed, as an anon user. It looks like the routing breaks down in certain places and you get left in a weird state:
Noting that I can successfully click through to the Popular/Recent topics, but as you can see some category-related routes in the hamburger menu don’t seem to function correctly. ~~Interestingly, I don’t see anything in the console or error logs.~~ I was wrong, there is an initial error when clicking on the category link, but I think that’s to be expected:

The only way to fixing this currently is refreshing the page or just opening a new tab. It occurs even when looking at another topic and clicking the home icon.

Usually this has to do with hitting a non-Ember page, but that’s typically difficult to do.

@eviltrout can you assign this for a post-release fix next week?

Got a fix here! Ember really doesn’t like it when you reject from `Route.model`, it seems.

Update: This is actually caused by overriding the `error` action, which has the correct implementation at the top level `routes/application.js`.
Follow-up commit to fix this properly:
