I clicked the notification and it took me to the correct topic but the wrong position.

Thanks for your report @sterretje. I gave it a try on Firefox and was not able to reproduce the fault. Does it occur reliably for you?

What is the specific URL the notification links to?

Thanks for the reply, pert.

I could not find the notification back; possibly replaced by a newer one.

Problem now seems to be gone. I will keep an eye on it and post the url when it happens again.

You might find it here:

https://forum.arduino.cc/my/notifications

The notification does disappear if the subject post is deleted, but I don't see any deleted posts in the Arduino Nano communications topic in question.

Great! Let's hope it was a one-off quirk.

I did look there; there only seems to be one entry for the specific topic.

It happened again (different topic). The link is Help , I do something wrong in my sketch - #19 by b707; the notification showed 13 new replies.
If I enter the link directly in the address bar it shows the correct post.

Note:
After entering the link directly a second attempt to follow the link in the notification area was correct. Maybe a caching issue, I will try to clean the cache.

I've seen similar notification issues where the link opens the right topic but doesn't jump to the actual post that triggered the notification. If the problem has disappeared, it could have been a temporary Discourse issue or something related to cached session data.

If it happens again, saving the notification URL and the exact time would probably make it much easier to reproduce. That kind of detail is really useful when troubleshooting forum behavior, especially when you're trying to keep track of discussions or reference content later.
