I was looking around on the web tonight, and found a few of the guys sites on there that were linked to the activeboard. from there I was able to get on the forum without having to sign in. I have seen more info on the board since it went to a members only site than before. Maybe we all better be careful what we post until the bugs are worked out.
I too have found that , i thought it let me in because i'm signed in automatically when i enter the site, if thats not the reason then a non member can enter when ever
