Is this something dodgy?

[lifesalongsong]

test.gransnet.com/Talk?call=ActiveConversations

Looks like a genuine home page but the log on page is definitely not rigth

I'm afraid that neither Safari nor Firefox would connect me to that page.

That page didn't load for me.

Hi there OP. Yes, that looks like an odd address. Where did it come from? You should be able to get onto Gransnet at the usual www.gransnet.com address.

I found it by a google search, I wasn't trying to get onto gransnet.

It goes to this page, warning, don't enter any info

stage4.devmn.net/session/login?target=%2FTalk%2Fpreppers%2F2498549-Best-films-books-for-preppers

It doesn't go to that page for me.

Yesterday I clicked it and it went nowhere.

Now I click and it goes to something that looks a lot like active conversations, but it only has the stickied threads and no other threads.

test.gransnet.com is a subdomain of gransnet. In the same way that mail.google.com or calendar.google.com all belong to google.com, ANTHING.gransnet.com belongs to gransnet.com

So I highly doubt it's dodgy, just perhaps not intended to be publicly viewable.

I'd imagine it's something like a staging server where changes are tested before being rolled out fully.

Thanks Trills, that makes sense. I'm wary of any page without the proper name nowadays

We need a comment from Tech really :)
