Hi, I am new to the forum. I have found a problem with email notification. Which sub forum is the correct place to report bugs?

When I receive an notification email from a thread I subscribed, there is a link in the email to the new post of the subscribed thread. The text of the link in the email is, for example:

Code:
https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/5456-Mini-PTZ-camera-impressions!-2015-PTZ-camera-of-the-year?goto=newpost
But the actual link is:
Code:
https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/5456-Mini-PTZ-camera-impressions!-2015-PTZ-camera-of-the-year?goto=newpost[I][COLOR="#FF0000"]?utm_source=notification&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=thread[/COLOR][/I]
When I click the link, the forum software doesn't parse the extra parameters, and just bring me to the first post on page 1 of the thread, instead to the new post at the end of the thread. If you remove the extra parameters from the hyperlink, it does bring me to the end of the thread, showing the new posts.

I tried this on both Chrome and IE11. Same behavior.

Thanks.
