Forum:What the heck?

I created a new account yesterday so that when I navigated to the site, I was recognized and did not have to sign in (I hate having to remember username password combos)

I went down the left side under community and selected forums. I then read through some posts on "what path did you choose and why?" and decided to add my two bits.

I could not do so because I had to "sign in" --- I thought I already was and even used the back button on my browswer to verify.

I was a little annoyed at this behavior but entered my username and password and received a message indicating there was a problem. I tried again and went so far as to link back to the home page (where I was greeted as signed in) and went to preferences and grabbed the Curse ID listed there and tried again. Still no good.)

I went to help section, stumbled around and here I am.

It should not be difficult for a registered member to access and comment in the forums. Could an administrator type please contact me as to why my username password arent accepted even after I am already recognised and logged in at the home page?

 * Unfortunately, the community site (http://community.falloutwiki.com) currently has no account integration with the wiki (it requires a Curse account instead). We're looking into better solutions, but I'm afraid this might possibly not change in the short term. -- Porter21 (talk) 15:43, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Im sorry - I thought I signed up for a Curse account. My info contains a Curse ID#.... Nabob 21:35, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Is there any reason that the community forum cannot be set to read-only, de-linked from the main wiki page, and set to direct people back here to the wiki forum? I just don't see the point of keeping it open when equivalent discussion areas already exist here on the wiki forum under the wiki login system, and just making the changes I mentioned would be a short-term improvement that is worth considering. --(talk 21:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
