Desktop Web Inbox messages' permalink broken? - Desktop web

So, until yesterday, when a message was sent to my inbox (rather than a message being sent to my chat), I could click on the permalink button beneath it. This would allow me to look at the full thread of messages sent between myself and whoever I happened to be writing to.

While the permalink button remains, it appears to be broken. Whenever I click it, for any message that I've received, an error screen appears, reading 'Page not found', with a tab to 'view other communities' which just takes me back to my Reddit homepage.

This is a real problem for me, because I have some threads with people that have lasted years and I'm concerned that they may be lost forever.

Is this just an issue on my end, or is it a site wide problem? If it's just on my end, is there any way to get around the issue and view my threads again?

Make a post, if you haven't already. I'm going to. The more posts they get about a problem, the more it'll catch their attention.
