If i'm on (for example) the Xbox page of Assassin's Creed III, I'll click on Forum on the left tab, but instead of taking me to the Xbox forum, it takes me to a page which shows the latest threads on allfour forum pages across allfour systems.

And If I physically go into the Xbox forum this way, and I then click Forum, it still goes back to a collective page of hot topics across all four systems

It happens with all games and all game systems, any help would be great

I've just looked at that gamespace, and I only see that happen if I click the 'See all forums' link. The 'Forum' link should still take you to the shared game board.

Nope just pressing "Forum" still takes me to all of them, even when the the "See all Forums" link isn't available

Okay, now I'm seeing it, although it seems to be random whether that Forum link will load the actual forum or not. I just retried a few times (from the gamespace) and it started working properly.

For me clicking on forum from the xbox 360 gamespace is consistently taking me to the xbox 360 forum for the game (if it's failing to do this at time but not consistently, it's probably due to the platform parameter being lost when it shouldn't have been, for whatever reason), clicking the forum link on the 360 game forum page however takes me to a page showing forums across all systems (both pages have identical URLs however, meaning that hidden parameters are deciding which to go to, most notably, the system parameter appears to be hidden, this hidden parameter carries over only once when you click the link, and as the 360 game forum doesn't actually have the game system in the link the parameter is then lost upon clicking another link). Easiest fix would probably be just to change the platform parameter to actually be in the URL (namely adding /platform/pc/, /platform/ps3/, /platform/xbox360, etc to the end of URLs as appropriate), or alternatively the platform=1029 (xbox360), platform=5 (pc), platform=1028 (ps3) etc., parameters could be added to all relevant links on the relevant pages.
