Description:
Clicking any category in the sidebar (like “GSOC”, “Ideas”, or “Q&A”) reloads the entire page. This happens because the links are plain tags, so the browser does a full navigation instead of updating content dynamically.

Expected Behavior:
The discussion list should update dynamically within the same page (AJAX or JS-based filtering) — not trigger a full reload.

Actual Behavior:
Each sidebar click reloads the whole page and resets scroll position and filters.

Suggested Fix:

Prevent the default navigation using JavaScript.
Use fetch() or AJAX to load discussions dynamically and update the DOM.
