This new fault concerns using the navigation at the top & bottom of the page:

Many forum users (not just those in competitions time) use the "?sort=new" on the end of the URL to navigate the forum in original date order:
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time?sort=new
Clicking to go to page 2 (as illustrated above) should change the URL to:
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time/p2?sort=new

From yesterday this has been messed up.

The link for page 2 at the top and bottom of page 1 is now:
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/competitions-time/p2?sort=new?sort=new
The "?sort=new" is repeated and the page no longer displays in original date order.

This needs urgent attention
