Right now, when one clicks on the DISCUSS button at the bottom of any article, you get taken to the D&D forums.
Shouldn't it take you to the specific post regarding the article?

Thread URLs contain a dynamic element that's created at the moment the thread is created; it can't be predicted. Either we create the thread hours before the article appears or we update the link hours after the article appears. For now, we've settled on the latter. The link goes to the umbrella forum until I show up in the morning and update it to the specific thread (around 8 a.m. PST).

As long as it's working.
Thanks for replying.
