Okay that's weird... seems to be fixed. Happened between 11:30ish and 12:15ish PDT.

That's because we change the end of the url from -new-post1.html to -new-post.html. The pattern matching was then matching that 1 at the end of the url to threadID 1, which sent you to the first thread on the site. As soon as you reloaded the forum home page, the links on the page updated to the new pattern.
