Forum Search Forcing Login Request

Launch day!  Whew.  Now that we’re out there, we’re getting some feedback that old forum links are forcing a login, even though you are already logged in.  This is due to a fundamental change in forum presence.  Previously, the forums were open access to registered users (with a few exceptions).  Now that we’ve introduced the idea of groups, all forums belong to a group.  In order for you to view each forum, you need to join the group that hosts that forum.

Update: I recorded a quick video on this issue and how to rectify.  The video is embedded below, but can also be found in the Getting Started section of DevCentral.
