I cannot log in directly to the forum, if i do that i get Nginx 1.2.7 ...and this A username and password are being requested by http://stage.cyclingnews.com. The site says: "Password". i can log on from the main site though.

Thanks Zam. I've been locked out since yesterday. Thought I got banninated.:cool:

You have to log in on the main page, not on the forum page, then it works.

Thanks for the hint, worked for me.
Pretty stupid feature, there is nothing user friendly at all.
CN must have some freaking managers who allowed this.

same happened to me too.
so as the common sense would suggest, i reached out to the site/forum powers (including to one always helpful mod directly)via the email and other means...and no response whatsoever !

thanks. why would it be too much to expect from the forum/site authorities to place a very small note about the weird problems with logging like you did ? apparently they don't give a crap.

completely agree except if they had ANY managers they would have addressed the all important and yet simple IT log in problems long ago. the cn is the only site i used with so many IT issues.
