Random redirection on forum

Not sure if this is the same issue as noted yesterday or not.

About 1/3rd of the time I try to go to a page on the forum I am being redirected to the same URL but with a suffix of 5 characters or so (or immediately before the index.php) such as http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/XmnbU/index.php

Its happening most often when clicking on links like in the breadcrumb trail or the header however does occasionally happen when directly typing the URL.

Certainly with both its a case of the link being correct and a redirection occurring. The 5 letters inserted also vary each time, even if you use the back button and hit the same link again a different combination of letters are normally inserted.
