How to stop getting pestered about my subscription?
I've been getting dunning emails from BF recently that my subscription was about to expire. A few minutes ago I got a message telling me my subscription had expired. Looking on PayPal, I see that I auto-payed for another year nearly a month ago, on October 5th:

I visited my normal private messages but saw no unread messages. I hate to seem alarmist, but is there a problem? Why would legitimate BF adminstrative mail reference a nonexistent URL?

You can ignore this. Our tech guys were testing something on the staging site (hence the "stg" in the URL) and accidentally sent out subscription reminders
