Spam? Different forum links? What is going on?

Why am I getting emails to 'test posts' from some new Admin?

And what is going on with the different forum URLS too?

https://forum.arduino.cc/
vs
(mod edit)

I get a barrage of emails (spam from admin testing I guess)...

Click on link.. I cant even log into the forum..

Long story short.. I notice the different URL's? Why am I getting emails from a forum I am not registered at? If I cant log in, get password reset email..etc.. I shouldnt be getting spammed) :slight_smile:

Hi @xl97. This is not spam in the strict sense of the word. This is a legitimate test version of the forum officially used by the Arduino developers, so don't worry about something malicious going on.

However, you should not be getting those emails, so certainly something is not going right. I'll post a notification about this via a channel I have access to now.

Thanks for reporting it!

No problem..

I'm just glad I (finally) realized the different URLS!

I couldnt log in
I couldnt reset password...

I was losing my mind for a few minutes! :slight_smile:

FYI.. It was specifically this thread: (ajax inputs)
