What do you mean by "
does not work?" ?
I meant this link that the system produces. That does not work?
crysman wrote
it is only information on some another domain (thus it seems as an error - why should a password recovery lead to another domain?! I've never seen that before and I consider it highly suspicious and non-standard).
I agree that it's non-standard but the only problem I see with that is that it's confusing for people.

The question remains: why are the links different? They should be the same.
No-one here can know why as we have nothing to do with the forum software. I don't think they need to be the same, lots of software include links to external documentation. It's only problematic that the link isn't labelled clearly as documentation and therefore setting the wrong expectation. (E.g. it could say "How to recover lost password" instead and have a symbol which indicates that it will open an external link.)

Proposed solution: "Lost password" opens a page with a form containing input for e-mail and submit button. (This is a standard, common solution)
You should report that in the forum's bug tracker:
