Hi,

I received this email - supposedly from the Community - It looks identical to your emails.

(From: community_noreply@adobe.com)

But I have NOT been active on the Community!

I am guessing it is spam?

    Correct answer Sunil Yadav

    Yesterday this new forum was launched. So this mail is auto-generated to all those users who have their account in here irrespective of being active or not. They have introduce new badges, & may be your previous replies or question fell in some category of badge, so for that only you have received that email.

    Thanks Sunil,

    A bit confused about the rankings and badges though.

    I have not been active on the forum for a few years!

    No.

    It is not a spam.

    In new forum lot of badges are added. You have recieved email regarding that only.

      Thanks for this - I also received the email and was concerned about it - you should be aware though that sending out n email with a link to "sign in to your profile" is one of the most common phishing methods. It is not good practice to do this.

        and no - I don't want to receive a "first reply badge". as per the email that has just come into my mail box. I have used the community in the past for serious queries - It isn't a game, I don't need or want to be awarded badges for participating
