Description:
Minor bug. The "Workbench Forums" link within Workbench refers to the "MySQL Workbench" section of the official forum, here:

  http://forums.mysql.com/index.php?151

However, the Migration topic is at a different location, as it's under "Migration" section instead of "MySQL Workbench" so it cannot be seen from within Workbench.

How to repeat:
1. Open Workbench
2. Click "Workbench Forums"
3. Look for the Migration forum

Workaround: Click around until you find it and/or get there via a sticky post.

Suggested fix:
I'm not sure. Some options that come to mind:

- Mark this bug as "Won't fix"
- Maybe the forum software can link a forum topic within two sections (in this case, 
   refer to "MySQL Workbench - Database Migration" under both "Migration" and "MySQL Workbench"
- Clarify the sticky posts
- Move the "Database Migration" topic into the "MySQL Workbench" section

Thank you for the bug report.

Nothing to verify here.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.0.9 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The "MySQL Forums" link on the MySQL Workbench home page was updated, and it
now links to a MySQL Workbench page that also links to the "MySQL Workbench -
Database Migration" forum, when before it was difficult to find.

Thank you for the bug report.
