Notifications from 8 months ago?

I just came on here and saw that I had two notifications from Riot, both of which said they were a test message and told me to reply to a nonexistent board. Anyone else get these or is this just me?

(Edit: thank you all for replying! Also thanks to those who pointed out the Rioter who posted about this issue)

Sorry about that -- those are actually test notifications that should not have gone out in the first place, and since we recently rolled back some changes, they went out again. Oops. Don't worry, they are dead links.

Original post from Bear Hat Alice (one of our engineers):

Hey guys, this was us accidentally pointing the notifications service at a test environment. We rolled that change back, so it should be back to normal (if you had notifications, they should be there again). This was not a hack.

Post here if you have any questions. Thanks, and sorry about that :x summoner 3

They are working on the forms. It was brought up yesterday by Riot Baconhawk.

I suggest not clicking them personally, gonna take and guess and say this is something similar to that hacked account thing we had on old GD.

Yep. First time I've ever seen anything in that box. I was all confused.

I received those two alerts today, and both linked to dead pages. It would help if a Rioter came to clarify what happened.

I can't even see the thing in the upper right hand corner where notifications and the like used to be.

Same here. 2 messages, one from 8 months ago and the other from 9. I say their test may have failed :P
