If you use a canned link like /n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=myforums&webtag=ws-something to enter "community" it will no longer work, taking you to a page-not-found error.

The page address has been changed it to nav=MyForums (note capitalization)

Aha. Yes, also possible! But perhaps we should not attribute to deviousness what could be explained by simple cluelessness.
