It looks like there are error 404's being generated on the legacy new posts list. The links to the forum posts themselves work fine, but on any of the Recent Topics entries the link to the forum itself (eg Ask All Sailors) gets the 404.
Error 404 from New Threads / Posts List

I just tried a few of them and they seem to work. Now for the obligatory questions...
Are you using desktop or smart device?
What OS?
What browser?
And now for the standard "you must think I am a total internet idiot" statement...
Did you clear your cache
Did you reset your browser (this is just one of those "this fixes all Firefox issues")?
Give it another try, it just might have been a glitch in the code of the Matrix.

Cleared my cache and it still seems to error. Happens on both Chrome on Android and Firefox on Windows 10. Also happens on IE which I never use and am not even logged into SBO.
To clarify, the problem happens on https://sbo.sailboatowners.com/recent-fx.php. Under Recent Topics, I can see the link to this thread (which works), a link to my profile (which works), and a link to the Site Talk forum (broken). The forum link seems to point to https://sbo.sailboatowners.com/forumdisplay.php?f=30, rather than the actual forum URL of https://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?forums/site-talk-forum-help.30/

Yeah, it actually looks like the link has been truncated. There are missing elements
The actual link for Site Talk is
https://forums.sailboatowners.com/index.php?forums/site-talk-forum-help.30/
The link you showed and produces a 404 error is
https://sbo.sailboatowners.com/forumdisplay.php?f=30
I now see what you are seeing and it is happening to all the forums. But only if you click on the forum name found under the title of the thread. I am not sure if it is a minor error or major. I wonder if the second link is residue from the previous version of SBO. Not sure. Let the boss take a look.

@Davidasailor26, Fearless Leader has fixed the links. They were in fact residue from several years ago. That happens when transitioning from a legacy system. Don't always get the links straighten out
