Yeah, the google recaptcha thing wasn't letting me log in, then I opened a private browsing window, and it told me to do password reset thing.

Yes. There was a security issue. Someone was trying to steal logins by redirecting forum posts to a sketchy .ru site. Then when you came back to the forum post you would be asked to login even when you were already logged in.

I don't know for sure but the user that was doing it seems to have been removed. It was someone going by Viladmir who kept spam posting an image of a car on a bunch of threads. However when he first tried to post it on one of my forum posts he pasted what looked like a bunch of html code which mentioned email and password, then within a minute he deleted it and then posted the image of the car. I went back to the post and it kept redirecting me to a russian 3d site before I started getting a popup on the forums telling me to login but only on the posts where he kept uploading the car photo.

As @CGSerpent described, there was a phishing attempt in the forum earlier today. 

As a precaution, we decided to force password resets for any users who may have been exposed to the phishing attempt. 

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we thought it was the best course of action to protect our users.
