User reporting issues after upgrading discourse

Version: 2.6.0.beta2

Sorry novice user I am. A user is reporting after his session times out, he is taken to the logout page…he goes back to the Community Forum site, logs in with user/password and then gets directed to a strange screen of code at “https://community.mysite.com/categories_and_latest” instead of directing him to the main page https://community.mysite.com.

Not sure what this “https://community.mysite.com/categories_and_latest” page is but appears as a jumbled combination of the categories and latest pages merged together. Site has been around since 2018 and only recently since August has it started being upgraded monthly.

Copied the log output comparing the user and myself. Other than me telling him close out your browser after the session timeout and try again…Any thing I can check that could be behind the strange behavior?

Why is their session timing out? Discourse should be automatically renewing your login session when it reaches half of the expiry.
