This is NOT phishing.
It's simple, if you are using stay always login then open that link with 'dot'. After open login button on menu bar will be visible. You don't need to login. Just click on any board like meta. It will be login automatically if you if you have already logged. That means even you use extra dot it will redirect you on original website by second click. So nothing to worry there. It's just normal.

No, the dot at the end is correct.
You can try it here. Try adding a dot at the end of "www.dns-sd.org", as shown in the subtitle at the top of this page, and you should still get the same page.
It's a little-known fact, but fully-qualified (unambiguous) DNS domain names have a dot at the end. People running DNS servers usually know this (if you miss the trailing dots out, your DNS configuration is unlikely to work) but the general public usually doesn't. A domain name that doesn't have a dot at the end is not fully-qualified and is potentially ambiguous. This was documented in the DNS specification, RFC 1034, way back in 1987:

Code:
Since a complete domain name ends with the root label, this leads to a
printed form which ends in a dot. We use this property to distinguish between:
- a character string which represents a complete domain name
(often called "absolute"). For example, "poneria.ISI.EDU."
- a character string that represents the starting labels of a
domain name which is incomplete, and should be completed by
local software using knowledge of the local domain (often
called "relative"). For example, "poneria" used in the
ISI.EDU domain.

By default the .Dot is always present in every website whether we add it explicitly or not. Even if we do not add .dot at the end of bitcointalk.org or any website, the browser automatically does that for us.

On the highest hierarchical level you’ll find the root label, also called the null label, or the “root” of the DNS system. It consists of a blank area, and so is only expressed by a period, or dot. In browsers today, it’s not necessary to enter this dot anymore, since the browser will add it itself.
No, it's not. It's just considered as another folder of the website since its possible to have subdomain and its considered as fully qualified domain name, which the page you access is considered as the third or valid location for the three hierarchy of a domain name, like subdomain.website.com or website.com.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong.

Suddenly today,I input bitcointalk.org.[bitcointalk.org+ another (.)] instead of typing bitcointalk.org by mistake,and I see that I'm out of the site. And notice that everything is moving to bitcointalk.org except for just the login button. So is this another phishing site? Or it's normal?
Code:
bitcointalk.org.
