I think the difference between the IslamQA site and IslamQA.org site is because the mainstream Scholars (representing the latter site) are not strict about hadith having to be sahih regarding nafl ibadah, see :
The Hadith regarding this prayer is weak. That means the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) may have prescribed the prayer and he (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) may not have.
If you are comfortable taking the risk of putting your faith in an action which may or may not have been prescribed then go right ahead and keep praying.
If, in contrast, you like to ensure that the action you undertake has been prescribed by Islamic legislation, then it is best to avoid such a prayer. Concentrate on what has reached us authentically.
