You're right. So I guess it's just a coincidence seeing this in both PMs this morning. I'll lock this topic.

In my defence: I've Merited more posts than I can remember.

Both: I've never seen it before. The only warning I knew is this one:
You aren't using the forum PM system a huge, or maybe you didn't receive a such PM for a while. It has been there for a quite long time now, I noticed that on April 2022. It must be there prior to my post. I'm not surprised that you didn't notice. AI fact  Cheesy

Nothing special for triggering this warning, it's displayed almost in all the links. I have received a PM with 3 different links. Most of them were linked to bitcointalk. The other 2 were telegram and discord. Still having the same warning.
Well, theymos can manually whitelist a few links for which the warning won't be visible.

This is new:
Did you mean the feature or the warning message?
I guess when in a PM there are outbound links then it's showing the warning. Send a PM with forum link and another with an external link. The PM containing external link will display the warning to the receiver.

This morning, I received 2 PMs, both with this warning. One of them links to BPIP.org, the other has an URL within code-tags. I'm not sure what triggers the warning, but if it's added to "normal" PMs too, users will just dismiss it after seeing it many times.
