Hi Magdalena
I have been trying to solve this issue myself for awhile, but here are
some tips that may help you (didn't help me though :-)
First try to delete all your cookies from your browser. This will
eliminate an automatic login once you hit the site. Close down your
browser and restart and go to the forums again. You will be asked to
login. If you have another AppleID than the one you always used, try
it first. If that works then this is a good sign. Logout and re-login,
this time with your 'usual' AppleID and fingers crossed.

Questions for you:
- Did you buy a new computer, where you have to authorise/register
with Apple?
- If you still have your old computer, try logging into the discussion
forum with your old computer and see if that works.
Good Luck

Doncha just love people who give this kind of advice? "First try to delete
all your cookies from your browser". And not a word of warning. Do more
damage than what they're trying to fix, and the problem may well not be
related to cookies at all.
I think I'm going to set my reader to lower the score on this clown's posts
to remind me what an idiot he is.
