Happens with us too:

eg: [Γνώμη για αγορά μπουζουκιού μέσω ίντερνετ και εκτίμηση - #2 από nikos\_politis - Μουσικά όργανα - Ρεμπέτικο Φόρουμ](https://rembetiko.gr/t/%CE%B3%CE%BD%CF%89%CE%BC%CE%B7-%CE%B3%CE%B9%CE%B1-%CE%B1%CE%B3%CE%BF%CF%81%CE%B1-%CE%BC%CF%80%CE%BF%CF%85%CE%B6%CE%BF%CF%85%CE%BA%CE%B9%CE%BF%CF%85-%CE%BC%CE%B5%CF%83%CF%89-%CE%B9%CE%BD%CF%84%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%BD%CE%B5%CF%84-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%B9-%CE%B5%CE%BA%25C/38511/2)

Strangely, it only happens **when you hit the topic from the “latest” list**. When you link to it from another topic, it works just fine.
