The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.

Can't see forums or threads without being logged in

As of...sometime in the last hour? I can't view threads (or even see most of the forums) in incognito mode, I just get prompted to sign in if I follow a direct link. The Circus of Bug Reports and the Forum Communities are the only ones that show up if you're not logged in. Didn't see an announcement so not clear if this was intentional or a bug.

e: direct thread links are working again now, that was weird; the forums still don't show up when not logged in though
double edit: this behavior is once again manifesting for direct links when not logged in

    Same here, is this an official policy change?

    If you're curious about my icon; it's an update of the early Lego Castle theme's "Black Falcons" faction.

    As someone who doesn't keep cookies on my phone browser and so only logs in when I want to post something, this is a little frustrating.

    I just tried in Incognito, looks like you can (again?) get to the subforums via direct link (a la https://forums.penny-arcade.com/categories/debate-andor-discourse). But they aren't visible from the main forums page, yeah. (Desktop, Chrome)

    At the moment, it seems to be limited to SE++ (both the forum itself, and the threads within it), you get a signin link if you try to view them in incognito. This is definitely new behavior, I used to incognito view threads all the time if I didn't want them to be blue-dotted for all eternity.

    I had never considered this

    Thank you! Assuming they bring incognito back, anyway

    Would be nice if this were fixed, as currently incognito seems to be the way to get around the 'threads are crashing' bug

    This is still an issue the site is having. Trying to view D&D just goes to a login page if your not already logged in.
