Had to create a new account because everytime I tried to log in it diverted me to some bikemag.com.au page & gave me a 404 error.  

Agree, to date I have to log in twice.
When I attempt the 1st time comes back with 404 error.
Go back to open new page again and I'm logged in ! like wtf is going on.
From last night you couldn't even get on here, disappeared, tried earlier this morn same thing nothing and just now having tried again the site comes back up but I have to log in as I quoted above.

Thanks for this post, Ive discovered I was actually logged all along & didn't have to create a new account however it's still doing the bikemag thing when I log in on any account on any device.    

Hello 442 technical people...

What happened to the forum last night? Got crashed out 

I'm getting the error page too for the past week or so but you're actually logged in. Just hit your back button a few times until you'reback at the forum and you'll see you're in.

It seems to be logging you in and then not making that next step back to the thread you are trying to reply to.

Same happened.

Bingo, signed in normally today - bravo good its fixed.

Yep. Sure is.
